During the summer, winter, and spring break the testing center is open from 8 AM to 4 PM. Can I just take a class instead of the CIL exam? No. However, there are credit courses which may teach you the skills you need to pass the CIL exam [some are listed here]. In particular, you can enroll in ICS 105, CIL Preparation. In this class, students will prepare for and take the CIL exam as part of the 3-credit hour course. When should I take the CIL exam? You are strongly advised to complete the CIL exam no later than the semester before you intend to graduate.

You will need to successfully complete the CIL exam by the last testing date of the semester in which you graduate. Do I have to take the whole exam all at once? No. There are four components to the exam, and you may take as few as one component at a time, and as many as all four at a time. To see what the exam is like, can I take the CIL exam? No. But you can work through the Sample Exam available on this website to see "what the exam is like." What if I fail a component of the exam? You will need to retake the component that you failed. How do I check the status of my CIL? You may check MyUH Portal to see the status of your CIL graduation requirement. A score of 1 means you completed your CIL graduation requirement.
