1. You must be a Cdr, SEO, ASEO, Chairman of a Local Board, D/C, DEO or ADEO to successfully use on-line exam ordering. If you are not in such a position, you will not be able to access this process.

2. When the exam ordering page opens, select the Course name and edition/year from the pull-down menu. Then fill in the Class Started date (2 digit month, 2 digit day number, and last 2 digits of the year), the Original Enrollment (the number of students originally enrolled in the course), and the Total Number of Exams being ordered in this order. Click either the Original exam or Re-exam button as appropriate.

If you click the Locate Instructor button, another page will open where you enter the last name of the person you want to find. You can reduce the search results by using the initial of the person's first name, or use the full first name. Note that you can also enter a nickname if that person has allowed this use in the data base. You may get unexpected results if the name you enter isn't the same as what's in the data base. You can also click "View Squadron Members List" to get a complete list of all the members of your squadron. To select a person, just click the blue "+" button to the left of the person's name.
