60 Days and Counting!

graduation1

Graduation is in the air, can you smell it?  It is well known that the most challenging time before graduation is after Spring Break.  For some of you this year has been with more lows than highs but nonetheless a high is on the horizon for the Graduating Class of 2014.  In just 60 days you will walk across a stage and receive the most anticipated reward since high school.

Best Practices:

  • Take the next few days to review your syllabus and talk to your instructors to ensure you are on track for meeting all requirements.
  • If you have any incomplete assignments, dedicate one day to completing them and turn them in immediately.
  • Be proactive and determine what your upcoming assignments are and if you can start them ahead of time.
  • Make “To Do List” and check items off as you’ve completed them.

 

Set your priorities for next several weeks because it’s going to be  challenge.  We are proud of your success and are here to support you in any way.

Tips

We’d like to offer a few tips that should make your experience at the Alexandria Testing Center stress free.

 

  • If taking an ELI exam print your pass before arriving to the testing center.  Have a valid government issued photo I.D.
  • Arrive early to allow yourself enough time to complete the exam. (at least 90 minutes before closing)
  • If taking a faculty make up exam, make sure you know the name, the course number of the test to be taken.  Also contact the faculty member to ensure the test has been placed in the testing center.
  • Always visit the website before coming to testing for hours of operation.

 Good Luck,
