Preparing for your exam

Regulations effective September 1, 2022.

Students must present a valid form of photo identification to an invigilator prior to being allowed to write an exam. The identification must be government issued (passport, driver's licence, etc.) or an Athabasca University-issued photo ID card.

Arrive promptly for your examination to allow for setup time. If you are using a virtual invigilator, it is recommended you double check your technical requirements the day of your exam. If you think you might be late, please contact your invigilator to discuss whether the exam can be written or must be rescheduled.

Check your course website beforehand to know what is allowed to be brought to the exam, and the exam format.

Information effective Sept. 1, 2022 to Aug. 31, 2023.
