Preparation
Preparing for exams starts when the course begins. Good study habits,
time management, reading to understand and remember, frequent reviews,
and relating your studies to your everyday life all go a long way
toward preparing you for the final exam.
Anxiety can prevent you from doing well in exams. Many students
have benefited from some coping strategies offered by AU's Counselling
Services and we encourage you to call. The “Mastering Exam Anxiety” brochure
offers exam preparation and coping strategies to help assuage anxiety.
AU has many resources to optimize your performance on exams. Refer
to 7.13.

Invigilators
An invigilator is an individual authorized by AU to
oversee the writing of an exam by an AU student.
This person must meet specific guidelines (below) and be willing
to invigilate the student's exam. AU reserves the right to reject
proposed invigilators.
Contact Examination Services, Office of the Registrar if you require assistance.
Invigilator Guidelines
|
1. |
Students must write their exams at an accredited,
post-secondary institution such as a community college or a technical
institute. If a college or technical
institute is not accessible, students may write at an educational institution
such as a high school or library, once approved by Examination Services, Office
of the Registrar. |
2. |
To eliminate conflict-of-interest problems,
relatives, friends, neighbours, co-workers (including immediate supervisors),
persons living at the same address
of the student, or other AU students, cannot invigilate exams without the permission
of the Coordinator, Examination Services, Office of the Registrar. |
3. |
Exams should be written under the supervision
of a professor, teacher, or an authorized invigilator. |
4. |
Where none of these options are available, students should contact Examination
Services, Office of the Registrar. A staff member will help you determine a
suitable
location and an acceptable invigilator.

Exam Invigilator Fees
Most invigilators request a fee to invigilate student exams. Students
are responsible for all expenses incurred for this service, and may
be required to pay invigilation
fees to the institution that is invigilating their exams.
AU does not charge a fee to invigilate exams at any of its three
Learning Centre locations. Other invigilation centers may charge
students separate
fees for the
cancellation and/or rescheduling of exams.
