The Computer Competency Exam is an online test of your ability to perform specific tasks using Microsoft Excel and Access. A complete list of all tasks that you may be asked to perform is available.
You should take the exam if you:
You must pass the exam before you will be able to register for any 300 or 400 level business courses, or take QBA 260.
Do not take the exam if you do not intend to take courses in Business Administration at UH Hilo.
The exam is the College's way of ensuring that you have developed the necessary levels of skill in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access to benefit fully from the business courses you will take that will make use of this software. The courses that require you to have passed this exam are QBA 260 and all upper-division (300 and 400) business courses.
You must visit the UH Hilo bookstore or an online bookstore and purchase a license in order to take the Computer Competency Exam. If you purchase your software online, be sure that it is new and not a used copy. You will not be able to register a used copy under your name, which you must do to take the exam.
See the CoBE Computer Competency Test Task List.
You may discuss the exam with your advisor, or call Dr. Kim Furumo, Computer Competency Exam Coordinator, at (808) 974-7672 for questions about the exam and/or special arrangements.
Note: If you will need disability accommodations to take the exam, you must contact the Exam Coordinator at least 10 working days prior to the scheduled exam.
Students may register for any of the available exams listed below. Seating will be managed automatically. As soon as the maximum number of registration forms is received for any time slot, registration stops for that time slot.
Students must print their e-mail confirmation and bring it to the College of Business and Economics Computer Laboratory (K-271) at the appointed day and time. Your e-mail confirmation is your ticket to enter the classroom. If you do not bring your e-mail confirmation, you will have to show a photo ID to the exam proctor and wait to have your name checked off the master registration list.
Students unable to register can come to the exam site. They will be allowed to take the exam after registered students are seated on a space available basis only.
The exam is 90 minutes long.
