1.  Daylight Saving Time and Your Final Exams!

 

Daylight Saving Time begins on March 11th this year, the night before Finals! Remember to set your clocks forward one hour as you set your alarm, or at 2AM Sunday morning. If you forget to set your clock, missing your exam or showing up an hour late can negatively affect your grade!  Also be aware that you will “lose one hour of sleep” so be sure to plan for enough rest before your exams!

 

2.   Final Exams Reminder!


With the closing of the Ohio Union and the Main Library, ODS will be using spaces in alternative locations including the College of Law Library, Campbell Hall and one of the classrooms located in Pomerene Hall.

 

Be sure to check in with ODS during the final week of classes (March 5th) to find out where your finals will be located.

 

Reminder: Be sure to bring your OSU Buck ID or Driver's license with you for all exams take at ODS.
