Please, note that this list is not inclusive of all CDM exam rules and policies. Online students should examine the course syllabus to find exam dates and the instructor's policy on make-up exams. The policies listed below are directly related to Online Learning exams and provide answers to commonly asked questions for local and remote online students:

• If you are a remote student and a presentation is required for the class, contact your instructor early in the quarter to see if an alternative method of presentation is possible.
  
  
• If you have a legitimate conflict that prevents you from taking the exam on the scheduled time, you should contact your instructor to make arrangements for a make-up exam. Take note of your instructor's policy regarding make-ups. Many instructors require that you take the exam the same week.
  
  
• Remote students are responsible for finding an acceptable exam proctor. Though the CDM OL Staff is happy to assist in this effort, the responsibility for finding a proctor ultimately lies with the student. Students considering Online Learning should look for possible proctors before registering for a course. Click the following links for more detailed information about Finding A Proctor or Acceptable Proctors.
  
  

• Students using a proctor are responsible for any fees charged by that proctor.
  Note: There is no proctoring fee for Online Learning exams taken at any DePaul University campus.
  
  

• Photo identification is required. Proctors will be instructed to deny the exam to anyone unable to provide a state-issued photo ID or a DePaul photo ID card.
  
  

• Exams instructions will be strictly enforced. Each instructor will provide specific instructions on how the exam is to be administered, and proctors will enforce those instructions literally. For example, if your instructor allows notes but not electronic devices, you will not be allowed to access notes on a laptop or mobile device. Such devices must be explicitly allowed by the instructor.
  
  
• Late arrivals may not be provided extra time. An exam appointment secures a room for a proctor for a specific period of time. If you arrive late for your scheduled appointment, the exam may still end at the scheduled time. This means that you may not be allowed the entire time specified in the exam instructions. Your proctor will make this determination based on the room reservation schedule and staffing considerations. Please, make every effort to arrive for your exam appointment on time.
  
  
• No-shows will be reported to the instructor. If you fail to appear for your scheduled exam or make-up exam time, your instructor will be notified that you did not appear. You must contact your instructor for permission to reschedule the exam. If you know in advance that you cannot make it to the exam, you will need to contact your instructor in advance.
  
  
• Same-day cancellation will be treated as a no-show. If you cancel your exam on the day it is to be taken, you will be treated as a no-show. Your instructor will be notified that you did not appear, and you must then contact your instructor for permission to reschedule the exam.
  
  
• Any cancellation requires notification to OL Staff. If you must cancel your registration for an exam, you will need to contact the Online Learning administration in order to reschedule. Send an e-mail to OL Staff. If the date range for the exam has ended or if you canceled your exam on the day it was to be taken, you must also contact your instructor for permission to take the exam.
  
  
• Exceptions to the schedule require instructor permission. Instructor permission is required before a student may schedule an exam outside of the posted date range. If you cannot take the exam during the regular period, contact your instructor in advance.

Note: The information listed above is general. For more specific information and exam details please see your course syllabus. Other exam issues will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. You should let your instructor know as soon as possible if you will need to make special exam arrangements.
