Testing Policies for Franklin and Botetourt County
The College would like to make testing for distance learning classes, hybrid classes, and make-up testing more convenient for students that live in Franklin County and Botetourt County. In doing this, the testing sites at the Franklin Center and Greenfield Center have worked hard to establish new testing policies to make testing at these sites easier for faculty and students. All faculty are asked to allow any tests that would normally be taken in the Learning Technology Center to be taken at these off-campus centers upon the timely request of students. Testing at these centers will be by appointment and will require the student to present a picture id before taking a test. Faculty should contact their division office with questions. Students should contact their faculty member and follow any course guidelines for due dates and testing policies.
