Scheduling Exams

Excelsior College® Examinations (ECEs) and UExcel® schedule their exams differently. Follow the scheduling process that pertains to you.

ECEs

After you register for an exam we will send you an Authorization To Test (ATT) letter.

You then have up to six months to schedule and take your test through Pearson VUE.

Schedule with Pearson VUE

  1. Receive your ATT from us.
  2. Locate a test center convenient to you on the Pearson VUE Web site.
  3. Create a Web account with Pearson VUE. You will receive your account username and password via email within 24 hours.
  4. After you receive your Pearson VUE username and password, schedule your test at a Pearson VUE Test Center.

UExcel

Schedule your UExcel exam during the UExcel exam registration process.

Instructions are on UExcel’s Registration page.

Practice exam information is on UExcel’s Practice Exams page.
