- Arrangements for such testing must be made before the exam is sent to Mississippi State University.
- There is a charge of $38.00 for up to 4 hours for each proctored exam. Registration will be handled on-line.
- The fee covers handling of the examination consistent with sound testing procedures and the instructions from the home institution, completion of any and all forms and actual supervision while taking the test, however, any postage will be the responsibility of the home institution or the student.
- Although every effort will be made to accommodate all requests, the actual scheduling of the examination may be determined by testing center hours, staffing, time of the term, etc.
- We will not fax tests, answer sheets, etc. to the home institution.
- We will not make special trips to the post office, UPS, FEDEX, etc. for quicker mailings. (If priority mail, etc. has been paid by your home institution or yourself, the envelope will go out with the regular pick up or delivery which may be the following business day.)
