Quiz & Test Policies

You will take your Quizzes, Tests, and the Final Exam whenever it is most convenient for you. Quizzes can be taken wherever you prefer as long as you have a stable internet connection. Tests & Final Exams must be taken when the Testing Center is open.

You must observe the date and time deadlines given in your Schedule and in the Quiz and Test System for Quizzes, Tests, & the Final Exam.

Do not wait until the last minute! The best way to avoid missing a Quiz or Test is to complete your graded work as soon as you are ready and well before your deadline (days in advance instead of hours or minutes in advance).
