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 late for an appointment, the seat becomes available to another student after 15 minutes.
If a student is late for an appointment and the seat is still available, the test will be timed using the original appointment time as the start time for the test (We do allow a 15 minute grace period).
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.
