Testing Services
UMGC offers National Test Centers (NTC) featuring exams and certifications in a wide variety of subject areas, on-site support, easy scheduling, and the benefit of instant score results. Available exams include College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST), Pearson VUE, and Excelsior College exams. If you are interested in earning credit or certifications through testing services, contact us.
Who is Eligible?
Examinations are available to DANTES-funded active duty military servicemembers and eligible civilian employees and, on a space-available basis, to all other examinees who have a U.S. military ID card.
Please note: For some exams, an additional $35 sitting fee for testing will be payable to UMGC Europe. Sitting fees can be paid via credit or debit card at the NTC. We cannot accept cash payments for sitting fees at this time.
- If you are taking a DANTES-funded exam, the $35 sitting fee will be waived.
- If you are taking a Pearson VUE exam, the $35 sitting fee will be waived.
- If you are taking non-funded CLEP or DSST exams (including any retake exams by active-duty servicemembers), the $35 sitting fee will apply per exam title (e.g., if you take two CLEP exams during one testing session, a $35 sitting fee will be charged twice for a total of $70).
- If you are taking ASE exams, the $35 sitting fee will be charged for each 3-hour appointment, no matter how many exam titles are completed during the appointment.
- All other third-party exams not listed above will incur the $35 sitting fee per exam.

About halfway to Namur, the E25 Autobahn will split off into the A-4/E411 in the direction of Bastogne and Liege. Stay on the E411 Namur/Brussels until you come to the junction of the E411 with the E42. Maintain a straight orientation on the A4/E411. Keep driving straight on until you come to the Ring Ost (RO), then drive toward Brussels and Zaventem (the airport of Brussels). Continue driving straight on the Ring Road until you see the intersection of the Ring with the A3/E340. Follow the signs Brussels/Leuven (Louvain) and drive toward Brussels. Merge onto the A3/E340 and you will see the first exit, "Kraainem-Woluwe" (exit 20). Take the exit 20 turn left at the end of the ramp. Go up a hill to a traffic light. Once on post at gate one, there is an option to park underground or on a platform. Select the underground parking option. elect the underground parking option. Take the elevator from the parking garage up to the third floor. Exit the elevator and turn left. Walk across the walkway toward Building 4.
