During a proctored exam, an authorized proctor oversees you while you are writing your exam. Find all you need to know about proctors and proctored exams using our Proctored Exams guide.
Students in "OC" online courses, who are writing an in-person final exam, will either be directed to:
If you live within 100 km of the campus where the exam will be held, you are expected to write all exams on campus.
If you arrive at an exam centre other than the one you indicate, you may not be accommodated. You must bring your Laurier identification to your exam.
The deadline to change final exam locations is one week prior to the start of exams.
To receive permission to write a final exam at an alternate Laurier campus, email Final Exams and indicate that you would like to change exam centres to either the Brantford or Waterloo campus (if available).
If you live more than 100 km from Brantford or Waterloo, arrange for a proctored exam at your location.
You will be responsible for making arrangements and paying for your own proctor and any associated fees (e.g., courier fees). Always confirm proctor fees and dates when making arrangements. Exams must be written on the scheduled date and time.

If you live more than 100 km from the campus delivering your course, and you are writing at an alternate location, download a copy of the Faculty Notification Letter from Accessible Learning Online for confirmation of your exam accommodations. You can share this letter with your proctor.
If you are writing an exam internationally (not in Canada), email Final Exams to check that the proctor you have selected is accredited and will be accepted.
This email must be sent prior to the deadline date to allow enough time for verification and/or alternate selections to be made.
Students are not allowed to change the exam dates and times.
