Expanded Testing Hours for Final Exams at the University Testing Center

It’s hard to believe this semester is coming to an end!  Final exams are  around the corner and the UTC will extend its hours to accommodate the schedule.

Testing hours will be 8:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. beginning Thursday, December 12th through Wednesday, December 18th, including Saturday, December 14th.  The testing office will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. each day.

There will be no testing during Reading Days (Tuesday, December 10th and Wednesday, December 11th).

DASS students and student-athletes should schedule their testing appointments as soon as possible in the UTC Portal, as space is limited.

Best of luck on your finals, Mustangs, and congratulations to our December graduates!
