Testing Center

The Testing Center on the Main Campus in Toms River is temporarily located in rooms 144 and 142 of the Russell Building, No. 7 while the Library building renovations are being completed. Once that construction is complete, we will move back to our original location on the ground floor of the Library Building No. 3, Room 014.

The mission of the Testing Center is to provide a professional testing environment for all. We offer on-site and some remote testing for OCC and Kean students, Ocean County High School students and the community at large.  The Testing Center offers the following:
