PROCTORING INSTRUCTIONS

  • If you are unable to take the English and Math Placement Tests on NCC (either Main or Monroe campus) we can accommodate you.

  • You must find a local proctor willing to administer the paper and pencil version of the NCC Placement Tests. Your local library or a local college is often willing to provide this service. Some facilities will charge you a testing fee, make sure you discuss this up front. NCC is not responsible for test administration fees.

  • Get the name and mailing address of the proctor.

  • Contact the NCC Advising and Transfer Office at 610-861-5346 or email mhenry@northampton.edu to give us the proctor information. We will then send the tests and proctor instructions to the designated individual.

  • You must contact your local proctor to schedule a time to take the tests.

  • When the testing is complete, the proctor will send all materials back to us and we will score the test. We will notify you by mail of the results.

NOTE: If you have questions about whether or not you need to take the placement tests, contact the Advising and Transfer Office at the phone number or email listed above.
