- Students should move to their designated writing area (e.g., South Gym, Drama Room or Learning Commons) between 8:30 A.M. and 8:45 A.M. or as soon as students arrive off the buses.
- At 9:00 A.M. Diploma Exam rules, and instructions will be read to all students.
- Students will be required to stay in the diploma exam writing room for a minimum of 1 hour.
- Once students are seated, they may not get out of their seat for any reason. If they need to use a bathroom, they must raise their hand and wait for a supervisor to approach them. Students will need to know their date of birth and complete mailing address, including their postal code.
