Dates for the Information Technology Waiver Exam

Please submit a request to Mr. Julián Guevara jguevara@smu.edu if you are interested in taking the IT Waiver Exam.

The Office of General Education does NOT provide study material for the IT Waiver Exam.

The Information Technology Waiver Exams for Spring 2012 are as follows:

Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 3:00pm 133 Fondren Science;
Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 3:00pm 133 Fondren Science;
 Monday, April 9, 2012 at 3:00pm 133 Fondren Science;
Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 3:00pm 133 Fondren Science.

After the April 10th exam, the next available session will take place during the first week of Fall term classes.  There will not be any sessions available during the summer terms.

Students should allow an hour for the test, though most students finish early. Students should make sure to arrive on time and to bring a pen or pencil, plus their SMU ID. Students and Advising Centers will be informed of the test results by email. We will make sure to get this information out very quickly -- definitely within 24-48 hours of the test -- so that students can make drop/add decisions if they need to.  The Office of General Education does not provide study material for the exam.

Students who pass the exam will be considered to have satisfied the Information Technology Requirement; however, the exam does not award course credit.

If you are planning a major in the Cox School of Business and/or Lyle School of Engineering (see below), then the IT waiver exam is not applicable to your degree, please see your advisor for more information:

IMPORTANT NOTE: EACH STUDENT MAY TAKE THE TEST ONLY ONCE. AFTER THE TEST HAS BEEN TAKEN ONCE, RETESTS AT ANY LATER DATE ARE NOT PERMITTED.
