Off-Campus Student Exams Policies and Procedures |
 |
DEN's Exams Coordinator will notify students via e-mail of their examination date, time, and location approximately one week before the test.
Midterm exam dates will be announced by the course instructor and final exam dates are available through the Schedule of Classes which is available on the University website.
|
- The student is responsible for taking the examination at the time scheduled. No exceptions are permitted. Unforeseen, documented, emergency circumstances which cause a student to miss a scheduled exam will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
- For off-campus students who work or reside in Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura counties, examinations will be taken at USC’s main campus on the date and time stated on the course syllabus.
- For off-campus students located outside of Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura counties, DEN will arrange for exams to be proctored at local testing centers.
- These centers are usually open during standard business hours of 9am-5pm local time and frequently charge a fee for their services.
- Professional testing centers are not affiliated with USC and administer exams for DEN as a professional courtesy. Proctoring fees should be paid to the testing center and are due at the time of the examination. Fees will vary from location to location and are estimated at $25-$50 per exam.
- Examinations administered at authorized testing centers must be held at, or as close as possible to, the same time that the examination is taken by students on campus.
- DEN will identify and coordinate with local testing centers and notify students and proctors of the examination date, time and location.
- To accommodate students in other time zones, or if there is a conflict with testing center hours, the examination may be given at a time different from on-campus. In these cases, the examination will take place as close to the actual on-campus examination time as possible.
- Students are not permitted to miss an exam because of vacation and make-up exams will not be administered through DEN for this purpose.
- In the event of mandatory business travel, students are still required to take the exam at an authorized testing center. The student must inform the Exams Coordinator of the mandatory business travel destination at least 2 weeks in advance so that necessary proctoring arrangements can be made.
- A letter from the student’s supervisor, on company letterhead containing the supervisor’s signature, title and contact information, is required in advance to verify mandatory business travel during the date(s) of the exam. Please fax this letter to the Exams Coordinator’s attention at (213) 821-0851 and mail the original to DEN.
- Failure to give advance notice for business travel may result in DEN’s inability to support your request.
