Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will I have to come to campus for exams?

A: Check your course syllabus for exam dates and instructions. If you are a local student and an exam is given in class, you will need to come to one of DePaul’s Campuses on exam night to take the test. Distant students must make arrangements for a proctor at a local college or university. For more information about exam procedures click here.
