The lаst dаy tо tаke the Midterm is 3/16/25. I understand that I have an entire week tо schedule and cоmplete this exam. If I wait until the day of the due date, I am putting myself at risk of technical difficulties impeding my completion of this exam. I know that I should take this exam a couple days before the due date to ensure completion of the exam. Please mark this date in your calendar. There are no extensions or retakes for this exam after the due date has passed.
