Testing Center

What is the Testing Center?

The Testing Center at Western Iowa Tech Community College was established to have a quiet, secure place for public testing as well as a centralized location for student make-up testing. The Testing Center is monitored by security cameras and sound for the protection of the test-takers.

If you are interested in taking a test at the WITCC Testing Center, or would like more information on the Testing Center, contact the Testing Center with any questions you may have.

Western Iowa Tech Community College is located east on Stone Avenue off of Gordon Drive. There is a Casey's on the corner of Stone Avenue and Gordon Drive. When you arrive on the WITCC campus you can park in parking lot 1 and enter building A. Please allow additional time to find parking. If you are unfamiliar with the WITCC campus you can stop at the registration desk to get directions to the room. There will also be signs directing you to the Test Center.

Please plan to arrive early.  It is the student's responsibility to arrive early enough be seated and begin testing within the allotted time to complete an exam.  All exams are collected no later than 5 minutes prior to Test Center closing time, regardless of whether the exam is complete or not.  Students may be asked to sign an acknowledgement if they choose to begin a test with less than the allotted time remaining to complete the exam.
