Course Exam Services

Before students can take an exam at CES, their instructor needs to contact the CES Team by submitting an online request for test proctoring. The CES Team only administers exams that are accompanied by an Exam Form (see below) with guidelines from the instructor. Once the online request is submitted and reviewed, students will receive an e-mail to their ACES e-mail with information on next steps. 

To submit the online exam form, faculty will sign in to Microsoft 365 using their ACES e-mail and then sign in to ACES before the form launches. If already logged into Microsoft 365, it may take a moment to access the sign-in information before the page loads. Personal Microsoft 365 accounts cannot access the online exam form.
