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 online and remote 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 or location (the Toronto campus is not an acceptable exam centre), 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.
The proctor form is only for students writing Laurier "OC" final exams off campus. You must live more than 100 km from the campus where the exam will be held be eligible to write your exam off-campus with a proctor.
Complete the appropriate proctor form below and send it to us by the due date (noted under Proctor Form Deadlines). Late submissions will not be accepted and you will you have to apply for a deferred exam.
If you are a student registered with the Accessible Learning Centre (ALC) and would like to access accommodations for an in-person exam on the Waterloo or Brantford campus, you must follow regular ALC booking procedures and deadlines.
If you live more than 100 km from campus and are writing at an alternate location, contact the exam team on your campus so they can confirm your exam accommodations with the proctor you've arranged for (alexams@wlu.ca in Waterloo; lbalexams@wlu.ca in Brantford).
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.

In addition:
Students writing outside of Canada and the United States are required to write with an accredited university under the supervision of an approved professor in good standing.
Documentation from the overseas institution is mandatory.
The university and proctor must be approved before examination materials will be mailed.
