The Student Accessibility Services (SAS) Exam Centre is the place where students registered with the SAS can request to write tests and exams. The Exam Centre is located on the second floor [1] of the McLaughlin Library.

If you have test accommodations approved for the current semester, and you want to apply them to an in-person quiz, test or exam, you must book with the Exam Centre. View exam booking deadlines. During final exams and busy midterm times some exams may be administered in satellite locations. Students should monitor their UofG email for details close to the test date.
