(1) Are the Module Exams proctored?

YES!

You must take the Module Exams with the online proctoring service called ProctorU using your own computer. You MUST show a driver's license or an official state ID, military ID, or a passport. All must be UNEXPIRED. Otherwise you will NOT be tested!  The instructor WILL NOT accept excuses such as "I lost my ID" or "My ID was stolen" or "I didn't have time to go to the DMV".

If you are registered with the CSN Disability Resource Center, the instructor will need to let ProctorU know. Please send the If you are registered with the CSN Disability Resource Center you need to send the instructor your official Accommodation Letter during the first week of the semester.  Be aware that you might not be able to take the exam if your documentation is sent too late or not at all.

If you want to take the Module Exams at one of the CSN Disability Resource Centers using their proctors instead of ProctorU, you must let the instructor know because the prerequisite needs to be waived.

NOTE: It is up to you to get testing accomplished! There will be no make-ups possible for the Module Exams!
