The Written Final Examination will be distributed on August 10th to all students who have not already taken the exam and who plan to graduate in December 2015. Any student who has already completed at least one course from each of the four core areas and who wishes to take the exam is also eligible. Only those students who entered the MS program prior to January 2012 and who are working on an Independent Research Project (NRES 501) are exempt from the exam. To request that your name be placed on the Final Examination Distribution List for August 2015, please go to https://illinois.edu/fb/sec/5283479 before July 1 to complete the form. You will need to provide your NET ID, the email address to which you want pre - exam notification sent, and the core courses you have completed. A webinar on how to prepare for the exam will be held on July 7 for those who have registered for the exam. For further information contact Renée Gracon at gracon1@illinois.edu. The next opportunity to take the exam will be in early January 2016.
