Fall 2018 Final Exam Week

Hello NOVA Students,

The Testing Center will be assisting students during the Final Exams week from Wednesday, December 12 – Tuesday, December 18. We will be open our normal operating hours during this period. As many students will be testing this week, please plan to arrive early in case there are lines. Please see our hours on our website: www.nvcc.edu/testing

If possible, pack lightly when you come to take your exams. Our storage space is limited, and when we are near capacity for our testing lab, it can be difficult to find space for larger backpacks. All bags, electronic devices (PHONES, SMART WATCHES, ETC.), and coats must be left in our storage area and NOT taken into the testing labs.

We thank you for your cooperation and patience, and we look forward to proctoring your exams as the Fall 2018 semester ends.
