Students are responsible for writing their exams by the course end date or within the last week the course ends.  The exam may be booked before all of the assignments are completed but all assignments must be submitted before writing the exam.  If they are not submitted before writing the final exam, your exam will not be marked.

You can choose a convenient date from the exam schedule.

Note: Students are responsible for writing their exams within time constraints of their course.

Most courses have an examination as part of the course requirements and are held on a monthly basis at Algonquin College, Woodroffe Campus.  In order to pass a course the student must pass the final examination.  Students must apply to write the examination and bring photo identification to the exam room.

For students outside of the Ottawa area, arrangements are made by the student to write at a post-secondary institution or if one is not in a reasonable proximity, to write at an educational institution such as a high school under the supervision of a full-time professor, teacher, or appropriate designate.  Colleges and universities often have Test Centres where they proctor exams on a regular basis.  (We have contacts at a number of Colleges in Ontario who proctor for us).  Approximately three weeks before you are ready to write, send an email to deexams@algonquincollege.com  to get the contact number for the college in your area.  If there are no educational institutions in your area, contact the above email address or call 613-727-4723 ext. 5206 or 1-888-684-4444 ext. 5206.

When you have found an appropriate proctor for your exam, go to the Proctor Invigilation Form located on the Schedule your Exam - Out of Town Students page.

The exam as well as instruction for the proctor and the student will be mailed to the proctor in time for you to write on the pre-arranged date. 

PLEASE NOTE:  Any fees that may be charged by a proctor are the student's responsibility.Back to Top
