CGEIT Exam Administration

Admission Ticket

Approximately two to three weeks prior to the CGEIT exam date, candidates will receive a physical admission ticket and an e-ticket from ISACA. The ticket will indicate the date, registration time and location of the exam, schedule of events for that day and a list of materials candidates must bring with them to take the CGEIT exam.

Please note: In order to receive a hard copy admission ticket, all fees must be paid. In order to receive an e-ticket, all fees must be paid and candidates must have a current e-mail address on file. Only candidates with an admission ticket will be admitted to the exam. If a candidate’s mailing and/or e-mail address changes, he/she should update his/her profile on the ISACA website (www.isaca.org) or contact examreg@isaca.org.

Candidates must locate and note the specific registration and exam time on their admission ticket. No candidate will be admitted to the test center once the chief examiner begins reading the oral instructions, approximately 30 minutes before the exam begins. Any candidate who arrives after the oral instructions have begun will not be allowed to sit for the exam and will forfeit his/her registration fee. Candidates can use his/her admission ticket only at the designated test center on his/her admission ticket.

Candidates will be admitted to the test center only if they have a valid admission ticket and an acceptable form of identification (ID). An acceptable form of ID must be a current and original government issued ID that contains the candidate’s name, as it appears on the admission ticket, and the candidate’s photograph. The information on the ID cannot be handwritten. All of these characteristics must be demonstrated by the single piece of ID provided. Examples include, but are not limited to, a passport, driver’s license, military ID, state ID, Green card and national ID. Any candidate who does not provide an acceptable form of ID will not be allowed to sit for the exam and will forfeit his/her registration fee.

Any candidate who has not received his/her admission ticket by 1 June 2010, should contact the ISACA certification department immediately.

No food or drinks are allowed at any exam site, unless special arrangements have been made in advance. Please refer to “Special Arrangements” on page 7 of the BOI.
