Students are required to arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to the exams: 7:30 a.m. for the morning administration; 11:30 a.m. for most afternoon exams (check the schedule for afternoon exam report times). Students are not dismissed until an exam has officially ended.

Students taking two exams on the same day should bring their lunch as there will not be time between exams to buy lunch!
