The Director of Academic Support will notify the professor of any cancellations. 

Appointment Confirmation

All testing appointments will be confirmed via Google calendar invitation, so it is essential for students to check their email regularly and accept the invitation. Students should not assume their testing appointment is scheduled until they receive a calendar invitation from the Director of Academic Support. 

Cancelling an Exam Appointment

If a student needs to cancel an exam appointment, they must submit a cancellation notification via email to the Director of Academic Support.

Late Arrival for Exam Appointment

Due to a high volume of testing, if a student arrives late to the MAC for his or her exam appointment, they will be allowed to take the exam. However, they will not be allowed the full amount of time allotted by their testing time and/or accommodations.
