Students wait to be called to take their online exams at the Centennial Campus Testing Center in Venture IV on Thursday, Dec. 13, 2018. Due to changes in the exam schedules since the recent snow days, DELTA Testing Services has asked students to make online exam appointments before coming to the center in order to cut down on the amount of people waiting at Venture IV. Despite the shorter lines, students such as Riley Wenker, a third-year studying animal science, still had to wait up to three-and-a-half hours to take his exam. (Emma Dimig/Nubian Message)
