Remote Final Exams for Winter 2020

With final exams quickly approaching, instructors may need to be creative in how they administer their final exam. This may mean that instead of a traditional exam, alternative methods may be utilized including Canvas quizzes, video presentations, or take-home exams. 

Below are student instructions for exams that are to be  administered using Respondus and Examity. We also want to make you aware that while Respondus and Examity are typically paid services, students will not be charged for using these services.
