The TTU Student Health Services Laboratory recently passed its biennial inspection by COLA (formerly Commission on Laboratory Accreditation) with an overall score of 98% out of 100. The inspection covered 14 major areas of laboratory operations, including quality control, personnel competency, proficiency testing, and laboratory operations.
