• If failed twice, the student will be required to take an approved computer literacy class.

• You must register for the exam by 9:00 p.m. on the day prior to the exam.
• You should receive an e-mail within 4-6 weeks of taking the test with your results. THE COMPUTER LITERACY EXAM WILL BE GIVEN 100% ONLINE AS OF FALL 2008.
