Office Hours
8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday - Friday
The first stop for many students is at one of the College's Testing Centers when they take ACCUPLACER® for assessment and placement. Once regularly admitted at Northeast State, students may take the A2 Nursing Assessment, CLEP®, a make-up exam, and/or proctored TN eCampus midterm and final exams in one of the centers. One of the final stops for graduates is the Testing Center, as well, since graduates earning an associate degree take the ETS® Proficiency Profile/Exit Exam. Northeast State also proctors Distance Learner and Employee Certification exams for non-Northeast State students for a fee.
Visit the following sites for more information on each available test:
The main Testing Center is located in Room C2106 of the General Studies Building on the Blountville campus. Check-in for all tests on the Blountville campus begins in Room C2101. ACCUPLACER is proctored at Northeast State's Johnson City and Kingsport sites once or twice monthly. ACCUPLACER is available at the Elizabethton sites once a month during peak months. TN eCampus midterm and final exams are proctored at the Kingsport site monthly.
Northeast State is an ACT-approved NCRC® WorkKeys Testing Center. Northeast State proctors the WorkKeys test at three campuses: Blountville, Johnson City, and Kingsport. When scheduling a test online, look at each campus to determine availability. A limited number of test sessions for first time test takers are available at no cost for current Northeast State students, former Northeast State students, and community members. Check the WorkKeys (Kingsport – Free) or WorkKeys (Blountville – Free) for availability. Other dates are available for a fee. The fee is $13.00 per WorkKeys exam ($39 for all 3) for current Northeast State students and $22.00 per WorkKeys exam ($66 for all 3) for former Northeast State students and community members.
The exam fee can be paid on the day of the test at the testing location or it can be paid prior to the day of testing. You must bring the receipt to check-in when testing. Instructions for payment are available once a test date is scheduled. On the Blountville campus, individuals without a Northeast State parking pass must obtain a Visitor’s Pass from the Welcome Center to place in their cars during testing. Parking is available in Kingsport at the lot off Shelby Street next to Blazier-Wilson Hall and in Johnson City in the parking garage on Buffalo Street. Visitor passes are not required in Kingsport or Johnson City.
Northeast State proctors Distance Learner computer-based and paper-based exams (non-Northeast State exams) and Employee Certification tests for business and industry. It is the responsibility of the test taker to make sure Testing Services has the correct test and/or proctoring information. Home institutions or companies may email
testing@NortheastState.edu for verifying information.
Test takers are responsible for paying postage when paper exams must be mailed back to the home institution. There is a $25 fee for each proctored exam. Please check the
Online Testing Registration schedule for availability. If dates are not available, email
testing@NortheastState.edu. The $25 fee must be paid at the Cashier's Window on the first floor of the James Pierce Administration Building on the Blountville campus before testing. Check-in for the exams is in Room C2101 of the General Studies Building. The Testing Center is located in
Room C2106.
Northeast State students requesting proctoring services for tests from other institutions will be charged the $25 fee per exam.
