YES!

You must take the Final Exam at a CSN Testing Center. See Course Schedule for dates and times. If this is not possible, please discuss your situation with the instructor at the beginning of the semester.

You must make an appointment to take the Final Exam. Do so as soon as possible because appointments fill up quickly.
