  • Your full name
  • Student ID
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Date of birth

An examiner will call you to give you the test. You will know the result at the end of the phone call.

Our Counseling Department offers workshops to give students an overview of the steps and requirements of applying to be credit students. The schedule of the workshops is forthcoming. It’ll be posted here when available. Additionally, you may check out Steps to Apply: New Credit Student to learn more about the process. Don’t wait until the last minute to apply because the application process takes time.

To attend class, you will log in to Canvas using your RAM ID. Your classes will be shown on the Canvas Dashboard on the first day of the semester. However, if you register for the classes during the semester, please allow 24-48 hours for the system to update your registration. You should see your classes on Canvas the next day. If you are new to remote or online learning, please review this Student Guide to Remote Learning

Your classes should appear on the Canvas Dashboard on the first day of the semester.
