Students will be able to access the Online Examination System via the Sakarya University of Applied Sciences Distance Education System (LMS) through the university’s official website.

Before the Exam

• You must log into the Virtual Exam Rooms 10 minutes before the start of your final exam and turn on your cameras. All sessions are recorded.

• Before starting each exam, the Exam Rules will be displayed on the exam screen. Students must carefully read and approve these rules in order to begin the exam.
