Session 5
5C I'll Have a Grande Double Mocha, Lightly Whipped, and an NCTA Grant, Please
Presenters:
Roberto Voci, University of Oklahoma
Lea Brown, Florida Gulf Coast
Gail Faith, University of Louisville (KY)
Shelly Murphy, Bellevue University (NE)
Bill Thelen, Central Washington University

Applying for an NCTA Grant can be easier than ordering a coffee at your local caffeine cafe. We will take you through the Grant Application process and give examples of applications that have been accepted or turned down...and why. If you have a special project that you feel fills the order, you are urged to come by to listen, learn, and ask questions. You then will be able to order your NCTA Grant with extra whipped cream and sprinkles on top.

This session will provide information regarding NCTA's quest in becoming a member of The Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS). We will look more closely at the progress we have made since last year's conference, activities which we can anticipate in the near future, and an overview for members who are unfamiliar with CAS or who want to refresh their understanding of the organization.

Presenters:

Want to experience reaching the highest point in your test center career? NCTA-Certified Center colleagues will show you what it took for them to walk through the trails and showcase their spectacular work. Come see documents that were submitted before and during the certification process; these documents will give YOU an idea of how to create or update your center's existing documents. Also, you will hear how becoming certified has positively changed their centers! Because your colleagues are familiar with what it takes to scale the heights, you will leave the session with sample documents provided by the Test Center Certification Committee. Get a jumpstart on preparing your "great wheel" of materials for the next market call for Pre-Applications for certification.
