  • ITEC: This means you are requesting a final and you want it in an ITEC room.
  • No: This means you are not going to offer a final during finals week.
  • Remote Asynchronous: Exams will be scheduled online on a specific day by the Office of the University Registrar and delivered using whatever platform the instructor finds appropriate, these exams will be open for 24 hours (12:00 a.m. - 11:59 p.m.).
  • Remote Synchronous: Exams will be scheduled online at a specific day and time by the Office of the University Registrar and delivered using a platform the instructor finds appropriate.
  • STEC: This means you are requesting a final and you want it in an STEC room (not the same as eTesting and is not a secured browser).
  • VTEC: This means you are requesting a final and you want it in a VTEC room.
  • Yes: This means you want a final and you do not have a room preference.
  • eTesting: This means you are requesting an eTesting final. You must meet the following criteria to qualify for eTesting:
    1. Courses that had previous exams held in the eTesting lab (107 Pollock) that semester
    2. Course enrollment size (normally above 600) -- to maximize the space, smaller enrollment courses are used to fill gaps around larger classes. If you have a smaller class they may be placed in Etesting Overflow rooms.

You CAN ask for a remote final even if your class is in person.

You CANNOT have an online class and ask for an in person final.
