Instructions for Students Regarding Final Exams for Fall Semester 2017/2018

University students must adhere to the following instructions:

1. The student is allowed to inquire about the exam questions during the exam’s first 15 minutes from the course teacher not the observer
2. Students aren’t allowed to leave the exam room before 30 minutes passes
3. Students are not allowed to use cell phones. They’re encouraged to place their closed phones with the exam hall observer. Having a cell phone with the student is considered a mean of cheating
