About the Program

The Department of Mathematics Online Course Testing Policy.

 

There will be a midterm exam and final exam which will count for a significant portion of the student’s course grade. Only the midterm and final exams must be taken at ULM or at a pre-approved testing center.

• Failure to take the midterm and/or final exam will result in a grade of “F” for the course.
• The Midterm and Final Exams will be given on the ULM campus on the dates/times posted on the course schedule; otherwise, you must find an approved proctor in your area. You MUST have the following in order to take your exam on campus or at a proctored testing site:

1. 1. A picture ID (ULM ID or driver’s license);
   2. Required course materials, including any online credentials required for access to testing materials.    
   3. A pencil or pen (no writing utensils will be provided; however, scratch paper will be provided because you may not use any paper of your own);
   4. Your calculator, if it is allowed by your instructor: If you are allowed to use a calculator, the only calculator that may be used is the TI-30XIIS or TI-30XIIB. No calculators will be provided.

• PROCTOR INFORMATION: If you are using a proctor, you are responsible for making the arrangements. You may have your exams proctored at one of the following locations:

1. 1. a testing center at a university or community college;
   2. a Sylvan Learning Center;
   3. a testing center from the National College Testing Association Consortium of College Testing Centers (http://www.ncta-testing.org/about-cctc).

If your test requires access to a computer, you must either use a computer at the testing site or take your laptop computer to the testing center.
