What is a KPU Make-Up Exam?

KPU students who have missed an in-class exam MUST seek approval from their course instructor to write a Make-Up exam with Assessment and Testing Services. Without approval from your course Instructor, the exam will be cancelled without refund. These make-up exams are written in the testing center, under the supervision of Assessment and Testing Services.

What is the Cost?

Students who are requesting a make-up exam are charged $40 per exam, to a maximum length of 3 hours. Each additional hour (or portion thereof), is an additional $10. Students who need to reschedule a make-up exam must have their instructor approval. There will be an additional $40 charge for rescheduling.

Testing Fees are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE

What Do I Do on the Day of the Exam?

  1. Arrive at the test location, at least 10 minutes prior to your scheduled exam.
  2. Bring current government issued photo identification.
  3. ALL Electronic Devices MUST be powered off after checking in with staff at the Testing Centre.
