Directions and Parking
The UMGC office is located in the Volkel Education Center in Building 404, Room 17.
To find our location, please take the A50 until the N264. Exit onto the N264 and at the end of the exit, turn right. Follow the signs for "Vliegbasis Volkel" (all signs will have a small plane icon to indicate airbase). At the traffic circles, exit in the direction of "Vliegbasis Volkel." The Volkel base is located on the right side of "Zeelandsedijk" street. After you pass through the entrance and the inspection area on base, drive straight on and then take the second left turn. The Volkel Education Center is located in Building 404, the second building on the right side. The UMGC office is located to the left of the main entrance, the third door on the right.
It is recommended that you call in advance to obtain a gate pass to get on base. In addition, you may be required to show your passport and leave it with the gate guard to be allowed on base.
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.
