Students must contact the Continuing Education Department at Canadore College to book their exams. Exams must be booked a minimum of two weeks in advance of the date you would like to write. Exams must be completed by the Friday following the course end date.

Most college level courses have a final exam that will need to be written in a testing center or with a proctor. Your instructor will be able to provide you with exam details.

If you are located too far from a testing center you can use a proctor to write your exam. It is a student’s responsibility to find a suitable proctor and pay any applicable fees associated with writing exams. A proctor should be an educational or human resource professional or a person in an authority role, such as a professor, librarian or police officer. A proctor cannot be a relative, co-worker, neighbour, friend, student or person with the same address as the student.
