EFSC Testing Centers Earn National Recognition
Eastern Florida State College recently announced that its Testing and Assessment Centers are recipients of the 2025 CLEP ® Honors National Achievement Award for being a Top 20 CLEP ® Center.
The CLEP ® Honors Award is an annual College Board program that recognizes test centers that administer high volumes of CLEP ® exams, providing students of all ages with the opportunity to earn college credits, saving them time and money toward achieving college degrees.
CLEP ® is the most widely trusted creditby-examination program, accepted at over 3,000 colleges nationwide.
“ The EFSC Testing and Assessment Centers are the cornerstone of student success,” said College President Dr. Jim Richey.“ This honor is testament to the hard work and dedication of the testing center team, and the leadership of its director, Valerie Rolling. We are extremely proud of their effort. Congratulations!”

Rolling became a member of the EFSC staff in April 2019 as a part-time proctor and was promoted to Collegewide Testing and Assessment Director in June of 2023. The changes she made to the Testing Centers led to the honor and positively impacted both prospective and current students.
“ The Testing Center staff really helped reduce my
anxiety! They made the process simple and the experience a good one.”
