Exam Requirements

1. Students
   1. Pre-exam
      • For students testing on their own device:
      • Students who are not able to take the exam as scheduled are expected to notify the course coordinator as soon as possible prior to the scheduled start time for the exam.
      • If students experience an urgent issue (e.g., technical issues or illness) during the exam, they are expected to notify the exam proctor immediately.
      • Students who are unable to complete the exam once started will be required to retake the exam and may be given an alternate format exam.
      • Exams start on time and students are expected to be present. Students should arrive with sufficient time to stow personal belongings and be in the seat ready to begin at the designated start time. Students who arrive more than 5 minutes late will need to work with the course coordinator to reschedule the exam.
      • Students who begin the exam after the start time will need to complete the exam at the same time as the rest of the class who began on time.
      • Once students have stowed personal belongings, no study notes should be accessible in the exam room.
      • Student phones and smart watches are in off mode and stowed with other personal items.
      • Winter wear, scarfs, hats, and visors removed, and hoodie head wear removed and stowed with other personal items.
      • Students who wish an exception to any component of the policy for health, religious, or other reasons, should submit a written request for an exception to the Assistant Dean on his or her division. The request must specify the type and appearance of any garment for which the student seeks an exception. The Assistant Dean will confer with the Program Director, who will confer with appropriate others, will advise the student if the request can be granted, and will communicate any other guidelines that must be followed. Students will be provided written documentation of the approved exception and are responsible for sharing this documentation with faculty and appropriate others as needed.
