Directions and Parking

The UMGC office is in the Ansbach Education Center located on Katterbach Kaserne on the second floor of Building 5817. To find our location, take exit 52 on Autobahn 6 toward the city of Ansbach, then take Federal Highway B13 toward Nuernberg. The B13 eventually changes into the B14, and Katterbach Kaserne is located right off of B14. Continue down B14 until you reach the turn toward "Sachsen bei Ansbach." You will also see a sign that says “Katterbach Airfield.” After this turn, take the first right and you will see the main gate. After you have entered the gate, veer right and follow the curve around toward the left. Building 5817 is straight ahead on the right hand side of the street (there is an archway that is attached to the building). Enter the building through the launderette. Once inside the building, take a left past the barber shop, and go up the stairs to the second floor. The UMGC office is in Room 246. Parking is available by the front and sides of Building 5817.

Available Tests and Testing Hours

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.

How to Register

CLEP registration is a two-part process:

  1. Create an account, register for an exam, and receive a voucher registration ticket with CLEP College Board. Candidates must bring the corresponding CLEP registration ticket on the day of testing.

    Note: Active duty/reserve military members only will check a box that states they are eligible for DANTES-funded exams during the registration process.
    By selecting this and providing the necessary information, the exam total will be $0.00 when you confirm the order at the end of the registration process. If eligible DANTES-funded exam candidates do not select this box during the registration process, it will associate a fee with the exam.

  2. Schedule an appointment by calling or emailing your local NTC or through the NTC reservation system.
