All exams should open at 8 am on the first day of each testing window and close at 11:59 pm on the last day of the exam window.

User overrides should be added for all students who receive extended-time accommodations for all course exams.

The Test Center has a variety of calculators for students to use during the exams. DELTA Testing Services do not allow students to use TI–Nspire™ calculators.
