"I am pleased that North Georgia's Testing Center has received national recognition for its adherence to professional standards of excellence and its commitment to service excellence," said Dr. Patricia Donat, vice president for academic affairs. "This recognition is the result of the tireless efforts of Ms. Kathy Rich and her team. The Testing Center staff is dedicated to providing high-quality testing services to our campus constituents and community members, and has worked diligently to expand its services. As leaders within the state, the staff's recognition is rightfully deserved."
The National College Testing Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of professionalism and high quality service in the administration of testing programs, offers certification to college and university test centers that demonstrate exemplary practices. NCTA membership includes more than 1,300 testing professionals from 565 colleges and universities as well as 42 test companies and organizations offering test-related products and services.
The North Georgia College & State University Testing Center is one of the few test centers in the U.S. and Canada to have completed this intensive certification process. The certification will be in place for five years and can be renewed by demonstrating continued compliance to national standards.
