Before students can take an exam at CES, their instructor first has to contact the CES Team by submitting an online request for test proctoring. The CES Team only administers exams that are accompanied by an Exam Form (see below) with guidelines from the instructor. Once the online request is submitted and reviewed, students will have an e-mail sent to their ACES e-mail with information on next steps.
In order to submit the online exam form below, faculty will sign in to Microsoft 365 using their ACES e-mail and then will be asked to sign in to ACES prior to the form launching. If already logged into Microsoft 365, it may take a moment to access the sign in information before the page is loaded. Personal Microsoft 365 accounts will be unable to access the online exam form.
