On October 26, a list of students who need to test during the upcoming Fall End-of-Course testing window was emailed to Building Testing Coordinators. The Fall End-of-Course window is November 30 through December 17. 

Please note that guidance for who needs to test has changed this year. In general, even if a student has taken the EOC test before, the student still needs to take the test if they are currently enrolled in the course and will complete the course during the current semester. The only exception is a student in an official credit recovery ("CR") course who has already taken the EOC test.
