Follow these steps to make arrangements for writing your exam in your own community.
You can access your course using the mêskanâs menu in myPortal.Macewan.ca. You will be prompted to log in.
Your instructor posts the date range on mêskanâs. You have to write your exam within the posted date range.
The exam supervisor you choose must be:
- A professor, instructor or professional staff member from a recognized post-secondary institution OR
- A full-time professional staff member of a private or public school, public library or library within a school
To preserve academic integrity, the supervisor cannot be a friend, neighbour, family member, co-worker or manager within the department and cannot live at the same address as you under any circumstance.
The location needs to be a room/space at your supervisor’s place of employment.
The Online Exam Supervision form must be completed and submitted to Exam Services 10 business days prior to the exam date. You can find the form in the Examination Guidelines section of your paskwâwi-mostos mêskanâs home page. After you submit the form, the Exam Services Centre will contact the exam supervisor (whose information you've included on the form) and provide them with the exam and other details. The supervisor will contact you prior to the scheduled exam date.
Show up 10 minutes ahead of time to write the exam. You are responsible for:
- Making sure the place you choose to write your exam has a high-speed internet connection, if your exam will be online.
- If you are a student with accommodations, make sure your exam invigilator can provide you with all of your accommodations (e.g., separate room, required software, etc.). You may want or be required to provide them with your accommodation letter.
- All costs, if any, associated with off-site exam supervision (including the mailing cost of paper exams back to your instructor) are the student’s responsibility.
