For exams that have not yet been incorporated into the GetCertified platform, contact your local department head, program director, or test center administrator to begin the registration process.
Test takers must complete an ‘ECPI Certification Exam Eligibility Form’ and submit it to an academic program administrator for their signature of approval prior to test registration.
Students and alumni must have successfully completed courses designated on the Approved Certifications List and be in good academic standing.
Test takers also sign an agreement form at the test center before testing to release the pass/fail score to the University.
