Online Proctored Final Exams

All UTHS courses offer an online proctored final exam taken by students on their home computer using the Proctorio system. This system allows students to take exams from their home to avoid scheduling on-site exams at testing centers. The secure online testing experience with ID verification, webcam video recording, and a lockdown browser streamlines the process to complete final exams while maintaining the secure testing protocols. The new process also results in cost savings for students, since online proctoring is less expensive than the typical on-site exam proctoring. Details of the final exam process are provided to students within their online courses.

Independent Learner Program Final Exam Policy

Exams must be taken within the 140-day course enrollment time period for students in the Independent Learning Program and within the UTHS semester calendar time periods for students in the UTHS Diploma Program. Most courses provide a Review Sheet that contains the topics covered on the exam. Questions about the final materials should be communicated with the course instructor through the message center.

Please be advised that once the exam has been taken, it may take up to two weeks to grade the exam and report the grade to your school.

Requesting a Final Exam:

Students can request the final examination when all course assignments have been turned in and grades have been awarded for 70% of the assignments. The remaining 30% will be graded "as is" once the final is taken. 

When you are ready, you may proceed to take your online final exam by following the directions within the course. The course will guide you in the process of installing and using Proctorio to take the final exam online and at home. It is no longer necessary for you to submit a separate request form to take the first attempt at a final exam.

Independent Learner Final Re-Exam Policy 

Final semester course grades are determined by weighting the graded assignment average as 50% of the overall course grade and the exams (two summative exams and a final exam) as 50% of the overall course grade. If the student has a failing final semester course grade, the student has one opportunity to retake the final exam to raise the semester course grade. Students must have time remaining in their course (or purchase a course extension as needed).  

We reserve the right to require students to retake an exam at our sole discretion.
