Please expect a response in 24-48 hours in most instances. Occasionally I do get backed-up and so there may be times you might wait a little longer than 48 hours. And many times I am able to get back to you within minutes or hours of you sending me an email. Thus, the time to receive my response may be varied. I have administrative assistants who help me program the requests for exam access. We do our best to make sure your request is honored within 24 hours; 48 hours at the latest (excluding weekends and holidays). If you know you are going to be ready for an exam, it is best to email your request to me 3-5 days in advance. This really helps to insure that your exam will be accessible for you. If you have any questions, need assistance, want to discuss course content, etc., please always feel free to email me. COMMUNICATION: You are encouraged to communicate with me.
