Online Self-Paced Testing

Most Texas State online self-paced courses require a student to take one to three exams. Exams may be Non-Proctored Exams or Online Proctored Exams. Refer to the course listing page or to your course in Canvas for information on the type of exams in your course. Non-Proctored exams must be requested using the request form for testing below. Online Proctored Exams are administered using Proctorio and require specific software and hardware, as described below.

If your course has a cumulative final exam, you must score 60 percent or higher on that exam to pass the course. For courses in which the final exam is not cumulative, the average grade on all exams must be at least 60 percent for you to pass the course.

For an explanation of a specific course’s exams and grading criteria, refer to the introduction or syllabus of your course. Exams will not be provided or approved until you have completed all assignments due before the exam. You must receive official grades from your instructor for all prerequisite assignments before you may take an exam. If you take a final exam, you acknowledge that your coursework is complete as submitted. All assignments submitted to date will be factored into the computation of your final course grade, and no further submissions will be permitted.
