Q: Where do I register for exams?
A: You do this through MyUMUC: Student Portal → MyAcademics → Registration → Undergrad Online Exam Reg

Q: I’m unable to take the exam at the time I registered. Can I reschedule?
A: If the exam registration deadline has not passed (check here for dates), you may reschedule your exam by going into MyUMUC just as you did when you registered.
If the deadline has passed and you want to take it another date during exam week, your ability to reschedule depends on where you are registered to take your exam. If you are registered with an individual alternate-site proctor, please contact your proctor to reschedule directly. There is no need to contact our office if you take the exam during the scheduled exam week. If you are registered at one of the regional sites, you may test on any other date/time at the site at which you are registered. You may not test at a site at which you are not registered. However, you may walk in to the Adelphi/College Park site during any session, even if you have not registered.
To take the exams at any time other than the exam week, you have to request a makeup exam. Complete information about that option can be found here: http://www.umuc.edu/prog/ugp/ets/makeupex.html
Q: I did not register for my final exam. Is there anything I can do?
A: You may either walk into any of the sessions at the Adelphi/College Park site . Please note that we only accept walkins at Adelphi/College Park. If you are unable to walk into Adelphi/College Park, you'll have to request a makeup exam. Complete information about how to do that can be found here: http://www.umuc.edu/prog/ugp/ets/makeupex.html
Q: I never received a confirmation of my exam registration.
A: Make sure your email address is up to date in MyUMUC. Student Portal → MyInfo → Contact Information → Email Addresses. You can print another copy of your confirmation from within MyUMUC: Student Portal → MyAcademics → Registration → Undergrad Online Exam Reg
A: The regional sites only offer exams during the scheduled sessions http://www.umuc.edu/prog/ugp/ets/exam_schedules
.html. To take the exams at any time other than that exam weekend, you have to request a makeup exam. Complete information about that option can be found here: http://www.umuc.edu/prog/ugp/ets/makeupex.html
Q: I need to take my exam earlier than exam week. Can I do that?
A: Contact your professor(s). Have them send confirmation of their approval for you to take the exam early to exams@umuc.edu. They should specify the date(s) on which you may take the exam. They should also include your name and your EMPLID. Note that you cannot take your exam at one of the regional sites outside of the scheduled session. You will have to find an approved alternate-site proctor. Guidelines for finding an alternate-site proctor may be found here.
Q: I missed my exam session. What can I do?
A: If you are registered with an individual alternate-site proctor, please contact your proctor to reschedule directly. There is no need to contact our office if you take the exam during the scheduled exam week. If you are registered at one of the regional sites, you may test on any other date/time at the site at which you are registered. You may not test at a site at which you are not registered.

Q: My exam has not been received by my proctor. Has it been sent?
A: All exams will be mailed prior to exam week. Please check with your proctor 24 hours before your scheduled exam time. If the proctor has not received your exam, ask the proctor to contact us via email (exams@umuc.edu) with a fax number and an email address and we'll fax or email a second copy to them. We'll also need your 7-digit EMPLID number, not your Social Security Number (SSN).
Q: Where can I find my EMPLID?
A: Log into MyUMUC. It is located on every screen within MyUMUC. To print a student ID card: Student Portal → MyInfo → MyUMUC ID Card → MyUMUC ID Card
Q: Where can I find directions to the regional exam sites? Where is my exam located?
A: Directions to all the regional sites can be found here: http://www.umuc.edu/prog/ugp/ets/examdirections
.html
Q: What do I need to bring with me to the exam session?
A: You'll need a photo ID and a printout of your exam confirmation email. If you don't have that email (we'll be sending the confirmations again the week before exams) you can print it from within MyUMUC: Student Portal → MyAcademics → Registration → Undergrad Online Exam Reg. Make sure that the confirmation has your name and EMPLID on it. Also bring pens/pencils and a calculator (that is not part of a cell phone or PDA) if your exam permits one.
Q: There is a chance of bad weather. Will the exams be cancelled?
A: You can find complete, up-to-date information about any exam cancellations by calling 301-985-SNOW or by visiting: www.umuc.edu/weather. We will notify any students affected by any cancellations with their options.
