| Final exam | |
| How do I request my final exam? | |
| Once
you have satisfactorily passed all required assignments (if your course
has required assignments) and/or met the requirement for minimum time of
completion, you may request your final exam.
To do this you must complete and submit to Allied Business Schools the proctor form. There are two different versions of this form: one for traditional students and one for online students. Traditional students will find this form in their "Student Workbook" or "Study Guide". Online students will be able to download and print the form here. On the form you will indicate the name of your proctor (the person who will proctor the exam for you) as well as their telephone number, business address, etc. Note: Your proctor may not be related to you by blood or marriage, and must be at a place of business. Once you have filled out the form, please mail or fax it to Allied Business Schools. |
