To make an appointment for an Exam

It is important for students to make reservations with our office no less than 7 days prior to each assessment (exams, quizzes, etc.) For example, in order to reserve a seat for an assessment on Friday October 22nd, you must register by 11:59PM on Friday October 15th using the online portal. Many professors provide assessment dates on their syllabi. Students can begin to make reservations on the first day of each semester.
