1. All writing instruments must contain non-erasable ink.  If students choose not to write in pen, they forfeit the opportunity for a future regrade.

2. All books and handbags should be placed at the front or back section of the auditorium for the duration of the exam.

3. Students should sit in alternating seats whenever possible.

4. When time is called, anyone who is still writing will automatically receive a zero for that page.  THIS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.  Remain in your seat and hand your exam down the aisle.
