reducing the ability to take exams, a temporary arrangement can be implemented where possible. Indeed, it is necessary to consider:
- A minimum of 7 working days (before the first exam) to set up an arrangement with an EPFL tablet.

Due to organizational reasons, the EPFL cannot guarantee the implementation of these emergency arrangements, even if the deadlines mentioned above are met.
