Extended library hours for April exam crunch; five classrooms open for online tests


Mills and Thode Libraries will have increased hours, with Mills Learning Commons open 24/7, starting April 10.  

Students hoping for extended access to McMaster University libraries during April exam season are in luck. 

Beginning April 10, Mills and Thode Libraries will feature increased hours to accommodate a rise in the number of students looking for additional study time in library spaces. 

The university is also offering a number of classrooms starting April 14 where students can write an online exam. 

Students are reminded to complete their daily MacCheck before coming to campus and respect the appropriate masking and food policies, as indicated.
