together to the CHSPE Office at the address shown on the Registration
Form. If applicable, your completed Accommodations
Request Form with the required documentation, clergy letter, and/or letter describing any physical access needs must also be included. Refer
to the CHSPE Administration Schedule for registration deadlines and to determine if you need to
include the late registration or the emergency registration fee. Refer to "Payment Policies" for
information about the payment of fees.
Reregistering
If you have taken the CHSPE since January 2003, you do not need to provide proof of eligibility with your Registration Form.
On your Registration Form, indicate that you are a reregistrant and enter your CHSPE ID number (if known).
CHSPE Registration Deadlines and Fees
For each test date, there are three registration deadlines, each with its own fee.
Regular Registration Deadline. ($92) To be eligible for regular registration, you must mail your
completed Registration Form, including proof of eligibility and proper payment of $92.00 by the regular
registration deadline for your desired test date. The envelope in which your registration material
and payment are mailed must be postmarked no later than the regular registration deadline. Incomplete
registration materials postmarked by the regular registration deadline will be returned unprocessed with
a letter informing you of the error and the deadline by which your corrected materials must be received
for you to be registered for the administration.
Late Registration Deadline. ($120)
If you miss the regular registration deadline, you may register during the late registration period.
To be eligible for late registration, your completed Registration
Form, including proof of eligibility and proper payment of $120 must be received by the CHSPE Office by
5:00 p.m. on the late registration deadline. If your registration materials are received during the
late registration period and they are incomplete, you will be notified of how to complete your
registration. If your materials do not include the full late registration fee, you will be notified
and your test results will not be released until your account is paid in full.
Emergency Registration Deadline. ($145)
If you miss both the regular and late registration deadlines, you may register during the emergency
registration period on a space-available basis at selected test areas.
To be eligible for emergency registration, your completed Registration Form, including proof of eligibility and proper payment of $145
must be received by the CHSPE Office by 5:00 p.m. on the emergency
registration deadline. If your registration materials are received during the emergency registration
period and they are incomplete, you will be notified of how to complete your registration. If your
materials do not include the full emergency registration fee, you will be notified and your test results
will not be released until your account is paid in full. Emergency registration is limited to the
eleven test areas listed here and is based on space availability.
Assignments are made on a first come first served basis.
Choosing a Test Area
When registering for the CHSPE, you will indicate the area in which you would like to take the test. You can provide both a first-choice and a second-choice test area. Click here to look up test areas near your county. Not all test areas are available for every test date, and only a few areas are available for emergency registration. (For Sunday testing, you must select from the list of Sunday test areas)
Test areas are identified by city. The specific test site location for an area will be in the general vicinity of the listed city, but may not be within the actual city limits. The name and address of the specific test site to which you are assigned will be included on your Admission Ticket. Register as early as possible to increase your chances of being assigned to a test site in your first-choice test area.
Registration Confirmation
Once your complete registration materials are received, they will be processed by the CHSPE Office. If you register prior to the regular registration deadline, and provide an e-mail address on your Registration Form, an e-mail will be sent to you within two weeks acknowledging receipt of your registration materials. If you do not provide an e-mail address, you will be mailed a letter.
Admission Ticket
Once your registration materials have been processed, you will be mailed an Admission Ticket approximately three weeks before the test date. If you registered during the emergency registration period, an Admission Ticket will be mailed and e-mailed to you, or you will be contacted by telephone. In addition, if you provided an e-mail address and password when you registered, you will be able to print an Admission Ticket at the CHSPE Web site. The Admission Ticket will show your name and address, and, if you are enrolled in grade 12 or below, your school and district. This information will be taken from your Registration Form. Verify the spelling of your name, because the name on your Admission Ticket (a) must match the name on your photo identification required for admission to the test site and (b) is the name that will appear on the Certificate of Proficiency if you pass. If you are currently enrolled in a public school, verify that your school and district are accurate, because these are the school and district that will be notified if you pass. If there are any errors in this information, see the Registration Correction Form.
The Admission Ticket will also indicate your CHSPE identification number and specify your test date, reporting time, and the name and address of your assigned test site. Keep a record of your CHSPE identification number. It will be useful in communicating with the CHSPE Office or if you reregister.
If you have not received an Admission Ticket seven days prior to the exam date or you lose your Admission Ticket, contact the CHSPE Office. Alternatively, if you provided an e-mail address and password when you registered, go to the CHSPE Web site to print your Admission Ticket.
Bring your Admission Ticket to the test site on the day of the exam. You must report to the test site printed on the ticket. If you go to a test site other than the one designated on your Admission Ticket, you will not be admitted.
