Group study must take place outside the classroom.

During the exam:

  1.  Should you need to use the restroom during the exam, please sign in and out and write the time you leave and return, using the clock positioned next to the sign out sheet. If breaks become habitually excessive, the issue will be addressed directly.
  2.  When you complete your exam, click "Exam Options," and "Submit Exam".
  3.  Please do not close your laptop until you see a "green screen," signifying that your exam has successfully uploaded.
  4.  Once you see the "green screen," collect your belongings, turn in your password/honor code sheet and any scratch paper, and exit the classroom quietly.
  5.  If you have trouble uploading, try to disconnect from CUWireless, reconnect to CUWireless, then "retry upload"; if this does not work, simply raise your hand and the proctor will assist you.
  6.  When you complete your exam, you will see a splash screen giving you a raw score for your exam. This means that you will see how many total questions you have answered correctly. Please note that this does not indicate your performance on the exam at each course level. The raw score is simply meant to give you an overall idea of your performance.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
