universities A large scale testing association for

administrators did not exist in Florida

FACTA Timeline Distance learning drastically increased the

number of exams administered by colleges and universities in Florida

However, a large scale association for Test Administrators had not been created

Page 4: Building    something  great    together

FACTA Timeline – Blueprint In May 2008, North Campus President, Dr.

Jose A. Vicente, planted the seed for a large scale state-wide testing association

The seed was nurtured by the Test Administrators at Miami Dade College and Cynthia Cerrato from Valencia Community College

The National College Testing Association strongly encourages and supports the establishment of state-wide testing associations

FACTA Mission and Vision Statements

The mission of the Florida Association of College Test Administrators (FACTA) is to enhance the professional growth and communication among test administrators employed by State of Florida SACS accredited postsecondary institutions. This is accomplished by working in partnership with the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE), Florida Board of Governors (BOG), testing agencies, and by keeping the needs of the employee's institution at the center of decision-making.

FACTA will become an invaluable resource to all professionals in the State of Florida and a respected partner with the FLDOE, BOG, and sanctioned test vendors.
