Academic Testing Services provides fee-based proctoring services on an appointment basis for individuals enrolled in distance and online courses or taking other exams required by an accredited college, institution or company. All tests are proctored in our secure testing environment.
A $10 per hour fee is charged per proctored exam for non-grcc students/testers and MUST be paid at the time of testing. The proctoring fee can be paid by check or money order. We do not accept cash or credit / debit cards at the Academic Testing Center.
