Note: When adding an Examiner in Charge (EIC) or other participants, if a calendar icon appears, it means that user is actively participating on other SAs. Click the calendar icon

to see the current workload for the user.
Repeat this process for all participants to be added to the exam by clicking Add Participant below the participant’s name.

Note: You can return to this page and add participants at any time before the SA is closed. However, selecting all the necessary participants at once allows you to proceed more smoothly through the workflows.
