Testing Center

Other Testing

Pellissippi State Community College's Testing Center at the Pellissippi Campus on Hardin Valley Road can act as a proctor site for students taking classes online from other schools. We also give CLEP and DSST tests. If you need information about taking a proctored test for RODP, please see our RODP page.

Correspondence Testing

We are happy to proctor exams for other schools. We charge a proctor fee of $15 per hour of the test, payable on the day you take your test (we can accept checks, money orders, and debit/credit cards, but we cannot accept cash). To arrange for testing, please contact your school or instructor and let them know you have found a proctor site. If you need us to fill out an information form for your school, please call us at 865-694-6454. Once your school has sent your test to us, you can come to test whenever we are open. You do not need an appointment.

Please make sure you are familiar with our Testing Policies before you come in to test. Students testing for outside schools must follow the same policies as Pellissippi students.

CLEP and DSST Testing

To schedule a CLEP or DSST test, please call our office at 865-694-6454. You must call at least one day before you want to test. We give CLEP tests at the Pellissippi and Blount County campuses. We give DSST tests at all campuses. While we give both CLEP and DSST tests during our regular open hours, we cannot allow you to start testing if fewer than thirty minutes remain before the Testing Center closes.

Pellissippi State Community College accepts certain CLEP and DSST tests for college credit. To find out more information, please call our office. If you want to test for credit at another school, please call your school's Admissions office to make certain you take the correct CLEP or DSST. Not all schools accept the same tests for the same classes. We will give you the exam you request, but we cannot be responsible if you request the wrong one.

In addition to the CLEP or DSST exam fee, we charge a $15 proctor fee per test, payable on the day you take your test. We can accept checks, money orders, and debit/credit cards, but we cannot accept cash.

Please make sure you are familiar with our Testing Policies before you come in to test. Students taking CLEP or DSST tests must follow the same policies as Pellissippi students.
