Arrange for the proctor for your 2nd test and final ahead of time: Students will take two ID-verified proctored exams, the second test and the final examination. The proctor can be your instructor, if you are able to come to the Mathematics Department on campus. If that is not convenient, see the Proctor Guidelines and Proctor Application as Word Document or as a pdf You need to start planning your proctor arrangements as soon as you know you are taking the course. The procotor application form must be submitted at least three weeks prior to a test to allow time for verification.
