Exams off campus
Remote proctoring is only permitted under specific circumstances and with valid justification. The following students are eligible for a remotely proctored examination:
- Students enrolled in Digital Learning (DL) programmes or courses that are part of such programmes.
-
Students with special needs or circumstances, as determined by the student dean.
The dean may grant the facility to take exams off-campus (if feasible and available) for students with specific disabilities, exceptional personal circumstances, or top-level sports commitments.
Contact the student dean well in advance, as the request takes time to process. Please note that not all exam formats are available off-campus. It is the student's responsibility to notify the examiner at least four weeks before each exam about the granted facility. This gives the examiner time to explore alternative options and consult the Examining Board if required. - In exceptional cases, where a student would experience an unacceptable study delay due to circumstances beyond their control and/or a study-related stay abroad, the Examining Board may permit the student to take a specific resit exam remotely, including via remote proctoring.
- Participants in WUR exams that have been (re-)scheduled off-campus, due to unforeseen circumstances.
Please note that WUR does not offer alternatives for on-campus exams due to Covid-19.
