(1) Is the Final Exam proctored?

YES!

You must take the Final Exam in a proctored environment, and you must make an appointment. You can either take it at a CSN Testing Center or use the online proctoring service ProctorU.

In either case, you must make an appointment to take the Final Exam.

To take the Final Exam, 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".
