(1) Is the Final Exam proctored?

YES!

You must take the Final Exam with the online proctoring service called ProctorU. 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.
