You may take the exams at any Certiport certified testing center. However, you will only receive a discount for the exams at the Gatton College testing center. To find certified testing centers, see the Certiport website. If you take an exam at another testing center, you will need to authorize us to view your transcript in order to get credit for the exams. If you have problems doing this, please call:

Certiport Microsoft Certifications:
1.888.222.7890, 801.443.3150 (Int.)

If are taking the exam at the Gatton College testing center, exam registration is completed online. Each exam costs $70 and includes a free retake (in the event that you do not pass the first time). Any retakes must be completed within two months of the original test date and must be the same exam as originally taken. If you were to fail the exam a second time, then you will be required to pay for the exam again.

Exams are given in an open lab format. You will need to purchase a voucher first and then may take the exam at any of the following times. If you have already purchased a voucher, you may use that voucher or you may use a retake voucher received from Certiport. Please not that the registration system will change soon so that you will have access to your voucher number after you have purchased it and your credit card has cleared. You may then take that voucher to the Gatton testing center or any other certified testing center.

Open Lab Times:

Monday, Tuesday, Friday – 9:00, 10:15
Wednesday, Thursday – 1:00, 2:15

** The open lab has been cancelled for Tuesday Sept. 2, 2008

TAKING THE EXAM

The MOS exams are computer based and will be offered in room 125H in the Gatton Business and Economics building. The exams are timed and last 50 minutes. You will receive your results immediately.

Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the scheduled exam time. You will need to register with the exam proctor in order to take the exam. You MUST present a photo ID at the time of testing.

Please make every effort to be present at your scheduled exam times. If you can not make your scheduled time, you will be able to cancel or reschedule your exam. To do this, log onto the MOS Management system and click on the appropriate button next to the exam you would like to cancel or reschedule. Canceling your exam will cancel the scheduled time for that exam only but will NOT refund your money. You will be able to reschedule for a later date, however.

Important Note on Free Retakes:

Each exam comes with a free retake voucher. The voucher will be sent by the testing company, Certifport, via email directly to you. It is your responsibility to bring that voucher with you to the retake. The voucher will be good for a period of two months. It is your responsibility to schedule a retake exam within two months of being issued. The information sent with the retake voucher will outline the official expiration date of the voucher.

Important Note on Subsequent Retakes:

You may retake the same exam once without restriction on the interval between exams. If you need to retake the exam a second or subsequent time, however, you must wait a minimum of seven days before retaking the exam.
