Online Learning
Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, exam proctoring for online courses at Acadia University has been suspended indefinitely.
Students currently enrolled in Acadia online courses are strongly encouraged to communicate with their course instructor.
If you previously had an exam scheduled with an off-campus proctor, you should consult with that proctor or testing centre, to ask about other arrangements.
If you previously had an exam scheduled at Acadia for a course from an institution other than Acadia, you should reach out to the home institution of your course to receive further instructions.
As soon as Acadia University resumes regular operations, we will restart arrangement and scheduling of proctored exams again. For now, our office does remain “virtually open” so that we can continue supporting students. Thank you.
