Testing Center
The purpose of CCC&TI’s testing centers is to provide appropriate, fair, accessible, and reliable services to students, faculty, and staff. Students may request testing accommodations by contacting Disability Services. Testing appointments can be made for the Caldwell Testing Center at 828-726-2719 and the Watauga Testing Center at 828-297-3811.

3). High School Equivalency Tests (Pearson Vue's GED and PSI's HiSET)
4). Instructor Makeup Tests, given to students who have missed a regularly scheduled test in the classroom and those taking individualized instruction
5). Testing for Online Courses
