When should I take the FoxCLT?
It is encouraged for students to take the FoxCLT their incoming year at the Fox School of Business. Ultimately, it needs to be completed and passed prior to enrollment in MIS 2101.
What are my options if I didn’t pass the FoxCLT?
OPTION 1: Fox School of Business Computer Literacy Workshop
Sign- up for the FoxCLT Workshop, which will provide you with the basic computing skills necessary for success in the Fox School of Business. This workshop will provide you with instruction on how to utilize Microsoft Office tools, as well as basic computer and Internet navigation skills. Upon successful completion of this FoxCLT Workshop you will be able to: 1. Successfully create documents, spreadsheets and presentations in Microsoft Office 2. Understand File Management on your personal compute 3. Be prepared to pass the Computer Literacy Test requirement 4. Receive a “Certificate of Completion” The cost of retaking the FoxCLT will be included in the $100 workshop and will be added to your tuition bill upon enrollment. At the completion of the workshop, you will be able to schedule the Computer Literacy Test at a time that is convenient for you. The workshop consists of two – 2 hour sessions for a total of four hours of workshop time plus additional practice in-between dates.
OPTION 2: Register and Take a Course
For students under Core Curriculum requirements: Register for CIS 1055, Computers & Applications, or CIS 0835, Cyberspace & Society, in the next semester available (course will satisfy Science B). For students under GEN ED requirements: Register for CIS 0835, Cyberspace & Society, in the next semester (course will satisfy one of the GenEd Science & Technology requirements)
English is not my first language. Can I use a dictionary for this test?
Unfortunately, you are not allowed to use anything for this test. This includes: dictionaries, e-dictionaries, websites, language translation pages, etc.
Is there a practice test available? Can I take it as soon as I buy my access code?
Yes, there is a practice test available. It is meant to familiarize you with the software within myitlab; however, you cannot take this practice test until the Computer Literacy Test session. If you register before the session, you will be unable to access the practice test because you do not have a course code. This course code will only be administered during the testing session.
If I have a Mac, is there another test that I can take?
Unfortunately, if you are a Mac user, you will still have to take the Windows operating system based test. Going over the Microsoft Office tutorials as well as playing around on a PC a couple of days before your scheduled test will definitely help your chances of passing.
I registered for the test and bought my access code. Is there anything else I need to do prior to the test?
Once you have bought your access code and registered for a testing session, you do not have to do anything until you are in the session. You will register your access code and set up an account during the testing session, prior to taking the practice test.
Do I need to buy the access code to take the test? Can I come to the test without it?
Yes, you will need to purchase the access code prior to entering the test. If you come to the test without the access code, you will be asked to reschedule for another test date.
How long does the entire FOXCLT session take?
The Fox Computer Literacy Testing session is comprised of three parts: an introduction and set-up, the practice test, and the actual test. The first part takes approximately 15-30 minutes to complete; the practice test has a maximum time of 10 minutes; the actual test has a maximum test of 50 minutes.
I have a Microsoft certificate, have taken a similar class at my previous college, etc. Am I exempt from the CLT?
If you feel that you have a validation on why you would be exempt from the Fox Computer Literacy Test( a passed class, Microsoft certification,etc.), you can contact your Fox Undergraduate advisor to see if you are eligible for exemption. Generally, anything done in high school is not valid and you are still responsible for taking the Computer Literacy Test.
How do I find out if I passed the FoxCLT?
You results will be displayed immediately on myitlab for you to view. You can also visit the Fox Schools registration system and log in using your Accessnet Username and password; your results will be displayed within 24 hours after your scheduled test.
