The language exams will be held in the Bentham, Upper Bentham, and Scripps Computer labs. Students will be notified in advance what lab to report to for those particular exams. Extended time exams for all subjects will be held in the Learning Center Quiet Room, Bentham 27 and in the Wheeler J. Bailey building.
