1.
TAR
*Each
time you test, you must notify TAMUCC by submitting your request
to test via TAR. (see TAR button on left) TAR will communicate
with you via email, so check your email often. TAR
shuts down at noon on the day before the regular registration
deadline to process all existing requests. Submitting your request
late will cause you to incur additional testing fees. TAR
does not operate during most holidays or Spring Break. Some
request to test deadlines may differ from ETS regular registration
deadlines.
*NOTE:
If you requested to test and were approved but did not
test, your approval should still be available. Check the ETS website
and if the test you wish to take shows, you may register without
submitting another request to TAR.
All
information must be typed accurately. Check each page before proceeding.
Submit
your request one time only. You will immediately receive an email
saying that your request is being processed and to monitor your
email. Islander email address will be used for all students enrolled
at TAMUCC.
Once
your request has been approved, TAMUCC will upload your information
to the Texas Education Agency's database. You will receive an
email saying that you are approved and that your information will
be uploaded.
CAUTION:
you may not set up accounts or register until you receive the
email that states your information has been uploaded by TAMUCC.
Once
your request has been uploaded, you may proceed to Step #2.
2.
Obtain a TEA ID#
Set
up your SBEC educator account and obtain your TEA ID# at www.sbec.state.tx.us.
If
you already have an SBEC account, check/update your information.
3. Set up an ETS account using your TEA

Visit
www.texes.ets.org to set
up an account with ETS using your TEA ID#.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: INFORMATION IN YOUR SBEC EDUCATOR ACCOUNT MUST MATCH EXACTLY
YOUR INFORMATION IN YOUR ETS ACCOUNT. IF THIS INFORMATION DOES
NOT MATCH, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REGISTER.
4. Register to test
At the ETS website www.texes.ets.org
Mail in:
down load the registration form from the ETS website, or obtain
a registration booklet from the COE lobby. Fill out all information
and mail in by the registration deadline
When you register, you will see in the drop down box the test(s)
you have been approved to take, the dates, location and time of
the test. NOTE: Not all tests are available during each test administration.
Likewise, if a site is full, the site will not be visible. If
your test does not show, your information has not uploaded to
TEA, so you will need to submit your request to test via TAR.
Once
you have successfully registered, you should print your admission
ticket.
Re-print
your admission ticket within 24 hours of testing in case any changes
have occurred.
