Final Proctored Exams

Students exclusively enrolled in online courses can choose to write their exams: in-person on Queen's campus in Kingston, or online using Examity proctoring services.

Students writing online with Examity are required to pay a $100 exam fee. The fee is charged once per course with proctored assessments. Students writing in-person in Kingston are not required to pay the additional fee.

In-person exams are held only on Queen’s campus in Kingston. Online exams using Examity proctoring services have fully replaced in-person remote/distance exams. 

Students enrolled in at least one on-campus course are expected to write all their proctored exams on-campus during the scheduled exam time.

Exam Date and Time Changes

Students are expected to write their exams as scheduled by the University which includes arranging work and other commitments to accommodate the exam schedule. Online exams have a 24-hour window within which you are able to schedule your exam starting from the centrally scheduled date and time.  

If you feel that you have extenuating circumstances preventing you from writing your exam within this time frame, you will need to apply for academic consideration. Visit the Academic Consideration for Extenuating Circumstances webpage for more information.

Accessibility / Accommodation

Queen’s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS), as well as the entire Queen's University is committed to supporting students experiencing barriers related to functional impacts as they pursue their academic goals. QSAS supports students to level the playing field by implementing academic accommodations that remove barriers to a student’s academics.
