Note: This information will be helpful to students taking Andrews University courses, as well as courses registered through the Consortium of Adventist Colleges and Universities. Information and prompts on when to request exams are embedded in your course space.
The best preparation for any exam is completing all assignments well, then doing corrections based on grading and feedback. Follow any review guidelines closely. Prepare for the types of questions noted in your review - ask your instructor if this is not provided.

- If there is no educational testing facility within an hour’s travel from your location, contact the Testing Coordinator for assistance in proctoring arrangements.
- We reserve the right to make alternate proctoring arrangements even when a proposed proctor meets the acceptable proctor conditions. Arrangements will be made with students individually in such cases.
- No family members, fiance(e)s, or friends
- No tutors, teaching assistants, coaches, or fellow students
