No earbuds or headphones are allowed unless you have specific DRC accommodations.
You may not leave the computer once the exam has started except with prior approval. No bathroom breaks are allowed.
It is prohibited to take pictures of the exam or retain any copies of the questions after the exam.
All normal distribution probabilities and percentiles must use the z table. You may not use a graphing calculator for these calculations.
If your webcam is not positioned to show you and your writing area during the exam, you will receive a ZERO (0).
Not following these rules, including talking to others or accessing unauthorized material, will result in a ZERO (0) and being reported to the Dean of Students.
