Arranging to take the Final Examination

In order to earn credit for your course, you must take a supervised final examination after all your assignments have been graded and returned. Please fill out the examination request form (by clicking the Next link at the bottom of this page) and submit it 2-4 weeks before you expect to take the exam, as it may take that long to verify and mail the exam to the proctor you have selected (see specific instructions below). We will mail the examination to the examination center or proctor you designate once we have reviewed and approved your choice of proctor. At the same time we will send you an e-mail to confirm that the examination is on its way. Upon receipt of this e-mail, you should contact your selected proctor or examination center to schedule a time to take the exam. You should have completed all of your assignments for the course before taking the final examination. If you have any questions, please contact us
