Initiative Title	Dedicated Testing Center in Newburgh
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	On the Middletown campus, we have a computer lab that is dedicated solely for the purposes of testing. It is not used for instruction and is available whenever needed for testing. In Newburgh, we use Kaplan 231 and 233 for testing, computer labs that are also used for many other purposes on campus. Frequently, we cannot schedule tests at certain times during the day because both labs are otherwise occupied. It would be much easier all-around if we had a room in Kaplan Hall that was dedicated for testing.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	The testing process in Newburgh is not always as smooth as it is in Middletown. Having different setups at each location leads to differences in the way tests are administered at each campus and disparities in the student experience.

Prioritization Notes

Level 3

Level 3 (Student Services, VP Office)

The ability to expand testing (CLEP, TEAS, etc) going forward would be possible with a dedicated testing space at the Newburgh campus. We could also consider developing the testing space into a Pearson Test Center allowing us to offer a broader range of test options (eg HSE) to support non-credit programming and credentialling.
