Supervision 

UCA staff will serve as safety monitors posted in different areas of campus. and floor decals will be installed throughout campus to indicate where students need to line up. Students are required to follow rules and directions of supervising staff at all times. Students who do not comply with staff will be immediately removed from campus and receive a zero (0) on their exams for that day of testing. Students who continue to violate health and safety guidelines may face expulsion from UCA.
