Welcome! Our mission is to provide comprehensive testing services, serving MU and the wider central Missouri area. We offer a variety of paper-based and computer-based tests, including high school equivalency, admissions, placement, credit by examination, and credentialing for technical and professional fields.

Payment information: Testing Services accepts cash, checks, or money orders for testing fees. Check writing requires a valid government-issued photo ID.

Important Notice! Prepayment of testing fees collected by the University of Missouri-Columbia is required for all tests administered by Testing Services. Fees should be paid in person at the Testing Services office at 205 Parker Hall. Testing Services accepts cash, checks, or money orders. Fees are nonrefundable. Twenty-four hour advance notice is required for all rescheduling requests.* Tests may be rescheduled only once. Separate additional fees will be required at testing time for DSST and CLEP examinations.

*GED test dates may not be transferred or rescheduled. C-BASE rescheduling requests must be made at least two weeks prior to the scheduled test date.

Proctored exams

The special administration fee for proctored exams is $40 for the first two hours and $20 per additional hour. Payment is subject to the number of hours requested, not on the hours actually used. Please consult your faculty advisor or the requesting agency before you sign up for a special administration since the above fees are nonrefundable.

To request a special administration, please come to Testing Services at 205 Parker Hall or call 882-4801. Prepayment is required before the test will be scheduled. In some situations, you may be required to order the test materials. If so, please request test materials to be shipped to Testing Services, 205 Parker Hall, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65211. When the materials have arrived, you will receive a call to schedule the testing date and time. Please remember, it is your responsibility to maintain contact with Testing Services. Testing materials usually arrive with a "return by" date. After this time we are obligated to return them to their source. If after arranging for special administration, you are not called by Testing Services within 10 days, please call us to see if your test materials have arrived. We will make every effort to contact you upon their arrival; however, circumstances sometimes prevent us from being able to reach you.
