Is that okay for an incoming SA to take 3 hrs off to take a final exam?

Incoming SA. I'm attending a quarter-system college, and the final exam will fall on the first hit-the-desk week. Is it okay to talk to the team and take three hours off in an afternoon to take the test? Will it impact my first impression? Thanks everyone.
