To receive academic credit for Distance Education and e-Learning program courses, students are required to take non-proctored mid-term and proctored final exams, unless otherwise specified. All assignments preceding the examinations must be submitted before examinations can be scheduled.

Non-proctored Examinations:

Some instructors allow their students to take unsupervised exams. This enables you to take the exam at a location and time that is convenient for you within the bounds of the specified due date. In the event that an unsupervised exam is allowed, students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the HONOR SYSTEM. Exams that for non-proctored online courses will be administered via the internet.
