Testing may be either paper or computer-based, invigilated or non-invigilated.  Invigilated testing is at the discretion of course instructors and must occur at a Canadian invigilation site.  Any fees associated with invigilated testing at an-off campus location are outside of the College’s control and are the responsibility of the student.  As Contact North no longer provides invigilation services, invigilation must be done by either campus staff at a campus location or a private invigilator.  Students using private invigilation services are required to find their own invigilator and have the invigilator and invigilation site pre-approved by Distance Education staff.
