I have always believed that this is exactly the kind of thing that any institution of life-long learning should offer. There really is very little to it. I will say that any postage fees are expected to be provided; however, most of the time, the school handles this anyway. Most of the time, everything is done digitally, so that isn't even a consideration.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>We charge $5 to make sure that people show up for their tests.

Meaning, we do charge the patron for any printouts made (a nominal $.15 per page) and long distance faxes for returning the completed tests (also $.15 per page). If postage is required to mail a hard copy back to the college, we have the patron provide a postage paid mailer. On the other hand, if the test is completely online (with no printing, mailing, or faxing) then the service is free. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>We don't charge, Rachelle.
