Appointment Policies

  • Students are required to schedule an appointment to take an exam.  All students must adhere to the following appointment policies:
  • Only students who make an appointment are guaranteed a space or time to take an exam.
  • If a student is more than 15 minutes late for an appointment, the seat may not be available and the student may
    need to reschedule their appointment.
  • Students who arrive late may not have their full testing time.
  • Same day appointments are extremely limited. We highly encourage scheduling in advance.
  • The instructor will be notified whenever a student does not show up for a scheduled appointment.
  • A student who misses an appointment is not guaranteed another appointment for the same test.  This will depend on appointment availability and the policy of the instructor regarding a missed exam time.
    Makeup exams must be scheduled in person, over the phone, by email, or via chat. They cannot be made using the
    online appointment system.

  • Use the restroom before starting your exam. If you need to take a bathroom break during your exam, your time will not stop and your instructor will be notified. It is at the instructor’s discretion whether or not to accept an exam that has had unauthorized breaks.
  • Arrange childcare off-campus when using the APC.
  • Be courteous and respectful to other students and staff.
