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.

APC Use Policies
