You need to register online at least three business days before a scheduled exam.

Priority for registration and grading will be given to students graduating at the end of the current semester.

Taking the Exam

Arrive at The Learning Center a few minutes before your scheduled exam period with a pencil and your picture ID. You may take the whole exam, or may complete just the component or components you're ready for. You may also retake components you previously did not pass.

There is a two hour time limit for each component of the exam. If you complete a component before the end of the two hours, you may immediately begin work on another component that you've registered to take.
