Testing Center: Students with scheduled testing accommodations will check in at the Arts & Sciences auditorium at their scheduled accommodations appointment time. These students who will be taking paper-based exams will take their exams in the Arts & Sciences auditorium; students taking computer-based exams will be assigned to a proctored computer lab. Students with concerns about these options may contact the Testing Center (gctesting@gcsu.edu) to discuss other possible test dates and locations.
Library resources are available through the library's Ask-A-Librarian service at https://libanswers.gcsu.edu/. Assistance is available via email, text and chat. Students who need access to print books should use the Ask-A-Librarian service to request materials; a library staff member will coordinate delivery. Library books may be returned to the drop box located near the doors across from A&S. Students who currently have technology items checked out will have their due dates extended to the beginning of the spring semester. Graduating students and students who will not be returning for the spring semester should contact Que Cummings (478-445-5099) to make arrangements to return their items.
