How to Take Your Exams Early

The Work and Travel USA program has official start and end dates in the United States, which may vary depending on your country of study. Before enrolling in the program, it is important to check these dates and make sure they do not overlap with your period of study, as the program is for cultural exchange during the summer break and should not interfere with your studies. Sometimes participants face the problem that they cannot start work on time because of their summer exam period. In this case it is possible to solve the issue through taking exams early. What does taking exams early mean? It is an opportunity for a student to take exams before the official exam dates to free up time to participate in the Work and Travel program. How to arrange early exams: 1. Find out the exam schedule at your university and ask the dean's office for permission to take your exams early, explaining that you need to leave for a program. 2. Prepare yourself for the fact that the dean's office and faculty may request additional conditions for taking exams early. To get approval, it is best to meet the following criteria: * have no outstanding coursework or exams; * Maintain good grades and attendance; * Have a positive reputation as a disciplined student. 3. Submit a request to the dean's office to take your exams early. After that, you will need to coordinate the dates of exams with your professors. If your request is approved, you will be given an individualized exam schedule that will allow you to begin participating in the Work and Travel program without harming your studies.
