Current UTSA students may call our office (458-4125 1604 or 458-2941 DT) to register for this test series. If you are registered for an upcoming IS exam, please arrive to the Testing Office 15-30 minutes prior to your appt. time due to parking and intake issues. Students who need this course to declare a major as a class prerequisite or to graduate should give themselves a minimum of 2 to 3 months for the testing and credit posting process due to testing times available.

 

IS1403 consists of five modules: Windows, Word 2003, Excel 2003, Powerpoint 2003, and Access 2003. The Windows module covers Windows XP, Internet Explorer 6.0, and Outlook 2003. You must complete each module and achieve and overall average of 70% to receive credit for this course. You have four months to complete the process once you take the first exam. You may take these modules in any order but may only retest once in each module.

It must be a new CD; you will not be able to register with a used or copied CD. This CD is available at the UTSA or L&M Bookstores. Once you have purchased the CD you will need to go online and create a USER ID and PASSWORD. This site will ask for a COURSE ID NUMBER which is as follows:
