Online students must arrange to have the final exam invigilated, either at a Vancouver Island University campus, through their local college or university, or through a qualified proctor within 2 weeks (14 days) after the course end date.
The final exam is computer-based and consists of 160 multiple choice and matching questions worth 100 points (some questions are multi-part questions). The final exam is worth 40% of your grade. It is a closed-book exam. Students have 2.5 hours to complete the final exam. Specific questions about the final exam should be directed to the instructor. Please note: All costs associated with having the final exam invigilated are at the students expense. VIU's cost of invigilation is $25.
Valid invigilation sites are:
Vancouver Island University
Nanaimo Campus: Building 200, Room 219
- Choose the appropriate exam group from the list.
