Hi All,

I sent an email to the Registrar today asking for an update. Copied
below are (1) his response, and (2) my initial email.

I guess we'll need to check our mailbox for an answer...

Happy Thanksgiving,
Michael

Mr. Katz:

I have just mailed out instructions to students regarding the use of
Securexam, which will include the use of Macs.

Good luck on your exams.

Hi Mr. Ostrowski,

I've been speaking about and assisting Ben regarding this issue this
semester. Ben has been fantastic, and I'm glad I've been able to help
with the testing. As we're getting closer to finals, I've been
fielding more and more questions about whether we will be able to use
Macs for exams this semester. Students are looking for official
confirmation that we'll be able to use our Macs. Without that
confirmation, my classmates are nervous that they'll need to scramble
to borrow a PC at the last minute. Law students are an anxious bunch.
(I know, understatement of the year...)

Here's what I've sent to a the last few students in response to their
inquiries...
There's nothing official from the Registrar's office yet. I last spoke
to Ben (the IT Manager) last Thursday. He told me then that he was 90%
certain that we were going to be able to use Macs for exams. He said
the Registrar was supportive and testing of Securexam for OS X had
been problem-free. Ben still needed to write up instructions and get
the final go ahead from the Registrar, and expected to get that done
early this week. No word since then. I'm going to send an email to
double check, and if you get a chance, you might want to stop by the
Registrar's office to see what's up. Feel free to pass on this info --
it's what I'm going to include in my email to Ben and the Registrar.

Are you planning on issuing a formal notice soon? If there's anything
I can do to help, please let me know.

Best,
Michael
