Proctored Exam Cancellation Procedures

Online Learning reserves the right to cancel proctored exam sessions whenever the safety of the student or proctor may be jeopardized (due to bad weather conditions, power outages, etc.) or when circumstances beyond our control prevent the proctored exam session to be held.

Online Learning recommends that students confirm their exam session is being held by calling Online Learning before they depart for their exam session. If Online Learning deems it necessary to cancel an exam, they will contact the instructor and reschedule the exam as soon as possible.
