Finals are approaching quickly

May 2nd is the first day of finals!

Make sure that you end the semester strong! Keep up with your studying, stay on top of those final projects and papers, and reach out for tutoring if you need to. If any of your professors offer extra credit, this is the time to take advantage of that to boost that final grade! And don't forget to take care of yourself, too. Have a consistent sleep schedule, eat nourishing meals, and take breaks to keep from burning out. 

Remember to register for your final exams in the OSAS testing center if you need extended time. For finals, we have a 10 business day minimum requirement for students to sign-up to take your tests with us. We please ask that you register for these finals as soon as possible so we can prepare. Be on the lookout for emails from access_success@umassd.edu about when the last day to schedule certain for finals dates comes up.
