-- REQUIRED -- I UNDERSTAND I understand that the use of a laptop is conditioned upon having the appropriate hardware and software, and that if my laptop fails during the exam, I will have to finish the exam by writing it. No extra time will be allowed for attempting to resolve the computer problems during the exam. The Law School will not be able to provide any technical support if any computer difficulties are encountered on the day of the exam. I understand that after the exam has concluded, an attempt may be made to retrieve any incomplete exam from my hard drive. If the incomplete exam cannot be retrieved within 24 hours, the Associate Dean, in consultation with the professor, will determine remedial options, if any.
