Course “Exam-Only’s” ONLINE

User ID - This is an identification created by you, the user, to identify yourself whenever you wish to enter any of the CACMLE online websites. It is alpha-numeric. You will be asked to type this information in the appropriate box on the same screen where you will be asked to type in your "Password". Please write this information down somewhere for safekeeping. Access to any of these sites require a separate User ID and Password.

Password - This password is created by you, the user, to identify yourself whenever you wish to enter any of the online websites. It is alpha-numeric. You will be asked to type this information in the appropriate box on the same screen where you will be asked to type in your "User ID". Please write this information down somewhere for safekeeping. Again, access to any of these sites require a separate User ID and Password.

Student ID - This is used in reporting exam results to CACMLE, and is the same as the User ID.

Course ID - The alpha-numberic "Course ID" is used to identify the courses available on the Courses-Exam Packages Online / Exams Only Online websites. For example, "CACMLE83Course" is the "Course ID" for the course-exam of the "Course Title", "Course-Exam_Combating Infectious Diseases"; and "CACMLE107Exam" is the "Course ID" for the Exam-Only of the "Course Title", "EXAM-ONLY_The Making of a Morphologist: A Visual Tour of White Blood Cells". Do not confuse this with the "CACMLE Course Number", which in this case would be course number 107.

Course Title - This is the title of the course. It is sometimes referred to as the Course Name.

Validation Code - This is the same as the "Exam ID Code" or “CE Exam Code” used when taking a paper exam. It consists of 2 capital letters and 2 numbers, and is found either on the "Participation Instructions" page of the course booklet or online file; on the "splash screen" or “exam front page” of the stand-alone CD-ROM course; or if the questions to the exam are on the CD, on the exam information or question #1 screen. This code is necessary to proceed with the purchase of an “exam only online”, to retake a failed “exam only online”, or if you decide you wish to take the exam on paper, instead.

New Students - This term is used interchangably with "new on line participants".

Returning Students - This term is used interchangably with "returning on line participants".

What is a “User ID Code” and what “Password do  I use?

This and other confusing terminology.
