This is for any student that plans to graduate in  May/August or Dec 2017.

You Will need to apply for the FE exam: 

  • before the end of January if graduating in May/August 

  • before the end of August if graduating in Dec

You will not be able to graduate without taking the FE exam and DORA may take one month to respond to you and then you will need to see if there is an opening at a testing center near you.  

This is not something you can work around and take later.

Latest to take it for a May graduation is in April, for a summer grad date July and For december grad date Nov.

YOU WILL NOT receive your diploma until the next term if you do not complete the exam on time.
 

Instructions to Register for the FE Exam

The FE Exam is now offered as a Computer-Based Exam.    NCEES will administer the FE Exam exclusively via computer at one of several approved Pearson VUE testing centers; this website will provide the testing centers in CO: http://ncees.org/exams/fe-exam/

The FE Exam will be administered during 4 testing windows throughout the year
(January - February, April - May, July - August, and October -November).

We are encouraging you to please note that the May and November windows are too close to the end of the semester to take the exam, especially when projects/designs are challenging to complete.

Here are the instructions to take the Computer-Based FE Exam:

  1. Log onto the NCEES website: http://ncees.org/exams/fe-exam/  to register and pay for the exam, $225. Bring or email me a copy of the NCEES confirmation that you applied and paid for the exam.
  2.  Log onto the DORA website: https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/dora/AES_Engineer_Applications_Docs   complete the student application (EI Student app), print and bring or email your confirmation that you applied and paid for the exam to me.  This is the checklist: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzKoVwvexVATdURSWlIycElySkU/view  
  3.  You will receive an “approval” email from NCEES once they have verified you are approved by the state to sit for the exam.  
  4.  Once you receive the “approval” email, from NCEES you will then log back into your NCEES account on the NCEES website to register for a particular testing site, date/time to sit for the test. You will then receive the appointment confirmation letter via email from Pearson Vue.

It is important that you register early, before spaces fill up; especially if you are in need of a Saturday testing exam.

  •  At least 3-4 months ahead of time!

Bring the following forms to Joanne Uleau, ECST 201

  • Copy of DORA online registration confirmation
  • Copy of NCEES online registration confirmation e-mail
