As a national test center, eCampus Exam Services administers paper-and-pencil and computer-based exams for current and prospective students.

In order to take a proctored test, you need to fill out a request form (step one), and if you’ll be taking the exam on the Fairbanks campus, you’ll also need to schedule an appointment (step two).

Step 1. Request UAF eCampus course exam

This step is to request to take a proctored exam for your eCampus online course in our exam room or with an approved proctor.

You also have the option to select “Other: Submit Proctor Approval Request” and have a person in mind who meets proctor requirements. You will need their name and email address. Once we receive your request you will get email confirmation. You do not have to complete step two below.

Step 2. Make appointment to take your exam in Fairbanks

You only need to complete this step if you’ll be taking an exam on the Fairbanks campus.
