Spring 2026 Semester Reminders

Last Day to drop before "WF" gets assigned: March 30, 2026

Finals

Don’t forget to schedule your final exams. The last day to guarantee a seat is April 10, 2026 at 5:00 PM. After that date, we will do our best to accommodate you, but availability may not be guaranteed. Finals are from April 29 - May 6, 2026, and scheduled times are 9am, 12:30pm, 4pm, and 7:30pm.

Students

During the week of finals, April 29 - May 6, 2026, all students will check in at the Main SDRC office, Suite 102 before heading to their testing locations.

Final Exam Reminders:

Due to the high volume of exams, you may not be placed in the usual testing suite. Our office takes great care in ensuring the rooms used for student testing during finals are kept to a minimum capacity for the distraction limited environment we provide.
Students may arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled exam time to ensure a smooth check-in process. Remember: Check in occurs at Suite 102 in the Close-Hipp building.
Perfumes and scents: For the health and comfort of our students and staff, please avoid wearing perfumes, scented lotions, or other fragrance products while testing. Strong scents can trigger some medical conditions.
Cancellations or Changes: If you no longer need to take your exam with the SDRC, please cancel your exam request in the AIM portal as soon as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our office at sdrctest@sc.edu or 803-777-6142.

Early Registration

If Early Registration is one of your approved accommodations, your registration date should fall within the week of April 6th in Self-Service Carolina.

Don't forget:

You must be advised and cleared to register by your major.
We are NOT able to lift holds placed by other offices (e.g. Student Affairs, Judicial, EOP, Bursar’s Office, etc.)
We are NOT able to grant overrides into classes with major/class restrictions.
We are NOT able to grant overrides into classes which are full.
Remember to look at the location of the classes you are signing up for. If you would like to take online classes next semester, ensure that the location says WEB COLUMBIA. The SDRC cannot grant overrides to get students into specific types of sections.
From the Office of the Provost: Students cannot choose how to attend class on any given day and must attend class according to the instructional method of the course section for which they registered.

Faculty

If you haven’t completed the Testing Agreement, please do so. This ensures that our office has accurate information about your exam guidelines and accommodations.
Exams should be uploaded to the AIM Instructor Portal or emailed to SDRCTEST@sc.edu at least 48 hours before the scheduled exam time. If any delays occur, please contact our office.
From April 27- May 8, all final exams should be dropped off and picked up at the Main SDRC Office rather than the Testing Center. Additionally, there may be a delay in delivering your completed final exams by email. You have the option of picking up the exam(s) to avoid this potential delay. Please be patient with our staff as we work to support students during this busy time.

Finals Test Proctoring Volunteers Needed

The SDRC will be in need of Finals Test Proctoring Volunteers. If you are interested in learning more information, please email sadrcga@mailbox.sc.edu. We truly cannot make this happen without your support.

Finals Proctors MUST be USC staff or Graduate Students.

Good luck with your finals, and we wish you a successful end to the semester!

Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
