Due to Covid-19, Athabasca University exam locations are closed and only ONLINE exams are being issued. Students must confirm that an invigilation centre is open before booking an exam. Please refer to the Covid Q&A page for any updates and current steps for booking an online exam.
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 examinations.
Anxiety can prevent you from doing well in examinations. Many of our students have benefited from coping strategies offered by Athabasca University’s Counselling Services. Athabasca University also produces a brochure "Mastering Exam Anxiety," and provides online resources.
Before you request your examination, discuss your preparedness with your tutor or learning facilitator. If you are having difficulties preparing for your examination, please review Athabasca University’s Counselling Services Mastering Exam Anxiety website or email an AU counsellor.
Information effective Sept. 1, 2020 to Aug. 31, 2021.
