What if I need to take my exam on a different time than my class time?
We always try to schedule exams at your class time. Sometimes class schedules are back-to-back and you will need to begin early, or take it later in the day or even take it on a different day altogether. This requires you to email your professor for permission and copy ossstesting@scranton.edu or send us the approval along with the details of your exam (course name, number, professor, start time and length of exam).
