Bubble only one answer per question and do not fill in more answers than the exam contains.
It is NACE policy to not disclose student grades via the telephone, e-mail, or fax. Students will receive a grade letter, by regular mail or through a company representative, in approximately 6 to 8 weeks after the completion of the course. However, in most cases, within 7 to 10 business days following receipt of exams at NACE Headquarters, students may access their grades via the NACE Web site.

*Note that the Student ID number for NACE members will be the same as their NACE membership number unless a Temporary Student ID number is issued at the course. For those who register through NACE Headquarters, the Student ID will appear on their course confirmation form, student roster provided to the instructor, and/or students’ name badges.
For In-House, Licensee, and Section-Registered courses, a Temporary ID number will be assigned at the course for the purposes of accessing scores online only.
For In-House courses, this information may not be posted until payment has been received from the hosting company.
Information regarding the current shipment status of grade letters is available upon the web upon completion of the course. Processing begins at the receipt of the paperwork at NACE headquarters.
When the letters for the course are being processed, the “Status” column will indicate “Processing”.
Once the letters are mailed, the status will be updated to say “Mailed” and the date mailed will be entered in the last column. Courses are listed in date order. Grade letter shipment status can be found at the following link:
