Credit by Exam Steps for ITE 115 (formerly IST 114)

Step 1:             

Go to the Houff Student Center and ask to see a counselor in order to receive the BRCC credit by exam form and an explanation for filling out the form.  You must have a VCCS email account to apply and include your VCCS email account on the form. If you have questions regarding what will be covered or need notes in order to prepare for Part I – Concepts in Computer Information Systems – or Part II - Office 2007. Review the content listed on the test out competencies page.

Step 2:

Complete the form and return to the Houff Student Center.  A counselor will review your statement of justification – be sure it is complete and that you have given a thorough justification as to why you can demonstrate competency in this course.  Once the Counselor has reviewed the form, they will forward the form to the division dean and appropriate faculty member for approval.  

Step 3:

The appropriate faculty member will review all applications prior to the test date.  Once your application has been approved you will receive an email by the faculty member to schedule the test. 

Step 4:

The test is in electronic format. You will be given one hour to complete each section. Students’ scores on the Concepts test will be posted immediately upon completion of the test. After the completion of the competency test and reviewing your score with the faculty member, go to the BRCC Bookstore and purchase the Myitlab Assessment Software (ask someone working at the register for this product). 

Bring a photo ID with you on the day of the exam.  When this portion is completed, the appropriate faculty member will discuss your results with you.  

**An average score of 85% or above is necessary to fully test out of ITE 115. **

*NOTE:  There are no options for a re-test.  Students who have previously enrolled in ITE 115 (or IST 114), either at BRCC or another college, and received a grade including a "W" are not eligible to take the exam.
