Important Notices

  1. Be aware there are always risks involved when taking an exam using a computer, though negative outcomes are very rare. If you experience any computer-related problems, immediately contact Debbie Seiter (contact information will be sent to you before exams begin). If the problems are not resolved quickly, it is your responsibility to handwrite your exam.
  2. Do not format your hard drive or SSD, or send your laptop for repairs before you receive your course grades. If your laptop needs repairs, contact someone in the Law School Registrar's Office and make an appointment to have a copy of your encrypted exam files retrieved before commencing repairs.
  3. Students must install Examplify and download their Exam Files and Mock Exam File to their own laptop without the help of another law student, since each Exam File is specifically configured with his/her Exam PIN number and must not be copied from another student’s laptop. Violating this policy and attempting to copy someone else’s Exam Files to their laptop after the deadline could result not only in lost exam answers but could subject the students to Honor Code violations and disciplinary action.
