D2L allows “anytime, anywhere” access to course-related files, electronic dropboxes for assignments, online quizzes and tests, e-mail, and grades.

If a student is picking up exams, they must bring their student ID and they must be documented in the student pickup authorization form, available from your department chairperson or academic department associate.
Exam turn-around is one business day normally and one-half business day during finals.
All exams must have a completed form and unblemished key when turned in.
