Writing Exams: Before you submit your Examination Request Form, contact the appropriate centre (or your invigilator)
where you wish to write, and reserve a date and time. Request your exam a minimum of 20 days with an
established AU-approved invigilator from the date Examination Services receives the request for receipt
of your examination. Allow a minimum of 60 days with a proposed invigilator from the date Examination
Services receives the request for receipt of your examination. You do not require permission to write an
exam, but you should discuss your preparedness with your tutor or learning facilitator.
Approved invigilation centre: Students who live within 100 km of an Exam Invigilation Network centre are required to write at a centre.
Students are not required to use the centre closest to them. Students who live more than 100 km from
an exam centre may write their exam closer to home provided they arrange for a suitable invigilator who
meets the invigilator guidelines, and who is willing to invigilate their exam. All students who live outside
Canada must write their exams at an approved post-secondary institution or a participating Canadian
Embassy. If you would like to request an invigilator that is not currently one of AU’s approved invigilators,
you must request one using the Invigilator Request Form.

Unwritten Exams: Occasionally, circumstances will prevent a student from writing the exam on the scheduled write date.
If this happens to you, you can reschedule the exam write date. Rescheduling must take place within
ten business days after the originally requested write date. Invigilators are required to return unwritten
exams within ten business days after the requested write date. Students who wish to reschedule their
exam write date must submit a new Examination Request Form and the multiple exam fee.

Supplemental Exams: Students who are not satisfied with their initial examination mark, may write one supplemental
examination for each examination written. This option does not apply to challenge courses. The
supplemental examination must be written within 30 days of the examination request. If you choose to
request and write a supplemental examination, your request must be received no later than 90 calendar
days after writing the original examination. The supplemental exam fee is non-refundable. Your final mark
will be the higher of the two marks received.

Late Exam Request: This is a request for an exam that has been received after the exam request deadline, but before the
student’s contract end date. In such cases, the Late Exam Request fee will be applied. The Late Exam
Request fee does not cover courier fees or establish a timeline for the delivery of your exam.

COVID-19 preventative measures will be in place at third-party AU approved invigilators or invigilation
centres, such as another university or a public library, to reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, AU
cannot guarantee that students will not be exposed to COVID-19 and cannot guarantee that students
will not contract COVID-19 due to attendance at a third-party AU approved invigilator or invigilation
centre. Students acknowledge that they are aware of and understand the contagious nature of COVID-
19 and freely and voluntarily accept and fully assume all responsibility for all risks, and all possibilities of
personal injury, illness, death or loss to themselves or any other person as a result of attendance at an
invigilator or invigilation centre. Students assume and accept all COVID-19 related risks arising out of the
student’s attendance and/or participation at the third-party AU approved invigilator or invigilation centre.
Students who choose to write exams with a third-party AU approved invigilator or invigilation centre are
responsible for ensuring that that they are comfortable with COVID-19 precautions in place at that site
and that they will abide by them. Any specific requirements should be confirmed with invigilation sites
directly.
