The IUPUI
Testing Center is collaborating with the Department of Computer and Information
Technology (CIT) to offer the CIT 10600 test out. Authorization is required
before the testing center will allow you to register. Go to Request
Authorization for more details and procedures.
The test out consists
of hands-on exercises in Windows XP, Word 2007, Access 2007, PowerPoint 2007,
Excel 2007, and File Management. You will be allotted 4 hours to complete the
test and can sign up for start
times with the IUPUI Testing Center.
You must earn
no lower than a 75% on the test overall. In addition, you must earn a minimum
of 75% for each section. Sections consist of Word, Access, PowerPoint, Excel,
and File Management.
The task
list located at http://www.engr.iupui.edu/~stevens/cit106/cit106tasklistforoffice2007.htm
identifies the tasks you might be expected to complete to pass the test out.
Tutorials are available at http://www.engr.iupui.edu/~stevens/cit106/cit106tasklistforoffice2007.htm

Assessment of fees (from Registrar's web site, http://registrar.iupui.edu/specred.html)
If the credit is awarded as the result of
an examination and the application is:
·
For
a beginning student within the first three semesters following matriculation*,
there is no charge.
·
For
a first semester* transfer student, there is a nominal fee per credit hour.
·
If
neither of the above, the standard credit hour resident or nonresident rate
will be assessed.
*The date used to determine the
student’s status is that when the Special Credit form is processed in the
offices of the Registrar and Bursar. Current fees (as appropriate) are charged
in cases where the examination was taken in a preceding year.
