Please see below for the test dates for 2011-2012 semesters:

In order to register for the CAP 110 CBE you must follow the steps below:

1. Complete the online registration form.
• All contact information must be correct to receive confirmation of your acceptance to the exam. If the Exam Proctor is unable to contact you with a confirmation you will not be registered for the exam.
