Testing, Counseling, and Special Services Center
Optimizing personal effectiveness
The Testing, Counseling, and Special Services Center (the “Center”) helps students enhance their academic and personal, and emotional well-being. We support the educational mission of Francis Marion University (FMU) by helping students cope with life’s challenges while learning skills that optimize personal effectiveness.
We also support the academic goals of FMU by coordinating testing services for the University (e.g., testing accommodations for students with disabilities, administering exams such as CLEP, MAT, and proctoring exams for those in distance education courses).
Schedule an Appointment
The Center is available to help FMU students with their mental health, disability services, and testing needs. Request an appointment to schedule a session with the Testing Center or to speak with a counselor regarding disability or accommodation-related concerns. If you wish to schedule a CLEP, DANTES, or other standardized test, please call our office at 843-661-1840, or email us at counselingtesting@fmarion.edu. Online scheduling is not available for these tests.
For counseling or disability-related appointment requests, you will receive an email notification if the appointment is confirmed by a counselor. We offer in person and virtual (secure video telehealth and phone) options for these appointments. Please specify your preference when making your appointment. Testing services are in-person only.
For any questions related to appointments or scheduling, please contact the administrative assistant at 843-661-1840.
