| (7) | Q:Where and when do I take exams?
A: Most distance courses offer exams online, from the convenience of your home. Review your course syllabus for more information. Some courses and exams may require you to take the exam in-person at the Testing Center. You will have several days in which to take the exam. You will need to present a College One Card ID(801-957-4022) in order to take the exam.
If you live an exceptional distance from a SLCC campus, you can request a proctor for your exams. A proctor form is available on our website. The proctor form identifies several professional areas from which you may select a person to proctor your exams. When you identify the individual, you must submit the completed proctor form during the first two weeks of the semester. At exam time, we will email the exam to the proctor and it is your responsibility to arrange to take the exam. The proctor mails the completed exam back to us. ^ return to top |
