License Exam Sessions
The next VE session offered by CUARC VEs will be:
Walk-ins will be accepted although preregistration
will help us plan
better. Register here or by
calling 212-854-3754 if you don't have
Internet access (how are you reading this?).
We especially need to know if you will need special
accomodations. Please read our VE team rules
before you arrive.
Upgraders must bring ORIGINAL and one photocopy of FCC license and any
applicable CSCEs.
If you are a US Citizen you must know your SSN or have an
FCC registration
number as either the SSN or FRN is required by the FCC rules.
You must also bring a valid photo ID (such as a driver's license). If you
do not have a photo ID, bring two forms of ID, at least one of which
shows your current mailing address.
The 2012 exam fee remains $15.00 (cash or check) for all elements.
Please bring exact change or a check.

Directions
Columbia may be reached by subway at the 116th Street and Broadway IRT
#1 stop in Manhattan. Turn right out of the turnstiles, take the
stairs to your right and then turn left to enter campus through the
gates onto College Walk at 116th Street and Broadway. Ask the public
safety officer or check the posted campus map for directions to Havemeyer
Hall. Look
for the "Amateur Radio Exam" signs that have been posted.
Upon entering Havemeyer, you will be on the third floor.
Turn left, and then go through the second door on your right --
stairway B -- which has a sign on it saying, "To 209 Havemeyer,"
and proceed down two flights to the bottom. At
the end of the stairs, go through the double doors and turn left. The
entrance to 115 Havemeyer is the second door on your right. Please
knock on the door if it's shut and you'll be let in.
If you are interested in becoming a VE (once you pass your Extra exam), please
let us know.
Studying for the exams
The study guide for the entry level exam,
"The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual," is
