Final Exams

  • UCPS has made the decision to allow all teacher-made exams to be taken from a virtual setting.  Below you will find information on both EOC and CTE State assessments; as well as teacher-made exams.  All students taking an End-Of-Course Exam or a CTE State Exam will be expected to attend school face-to-face on their assigned day.  Students need to report to school with their laptops and chargers.  Please contact your teacher directly if you are not sure if your class is an EOC or CTE state assessment.  EOC and CTE State Exams are required tests and will count as 25% of your student’s final grade.
