ETS Computer-Based Testing (CBT) Center
With the help of Educational Testing Service (ETS), a private educational testing and measurement organization located in Princeton, New Jersey, The University of Mississippi has installed a complete ETS Computer-Based Testing Center that allows students of any age to take ETS-developed tests on the Oxford campus rather than in Tupelo, Memphis, or Jackson. The new lab is located in the E.F. Yerby Conference Center at Grove Loop and University Avenue, and is equipped with four testing stations that include networked personal computers with headphones. The center will be operated by two certified ETS administrators of the Office of Professional Development and Non-Credit Education.
* Request must be made on the computer the day of the test.
The University of Mississippi Testing Center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
