The ELPE may only be taken once every three months. Under specific circumstances, you may request a retest within that three month period. To get permission to retest, you will need to do the following:
- Go to your departmental graduate advisor. Ask that person to request a retest through the Office of Graduate Studies.
- If your departmental graduate advisor agrees, he/she should write a letter to Dr. Webb in the Office of Graduate Studies requesting a retest. Requests should include the student's name, UIN, reason for retest request, most recent test date and score(s). Requests must be sent to Dr. Webb no later than the Thursday before the week of the exam (i.e. SEVEN BUSINESS DAYS).
- If Dr. Webb approves the retest, the Office of Graduate Studies will notify Measurement and Research Services of your approval for the retest. Retest approvals must be received by Measurement & Research Services no later than the Friday before the week of the exam (i.e. SIX BUSINESS DAYS) before the exam so that these students can be included in the schedule which is emailed to students the Monday before the exam (i.e. FIVE BUSINESS DAYS) before the exam.
You MUST have approval from the Office of Graduate Studies to re-test. If you test without permission, you will be charged for the test, but your test will not be scored.
The Office of Graduate Studies uses the following guidelines to determine eligibility for retesting:- The student needs the re-test to qualify as a GAT (teaching assistant) or to graduate in the coming semester AND
- The student has two or fewer areas remaining AND
- The student scored at least 75 in the areas not passed.
