- Section Notes: Be advised: This online course has at least one test or exam that will need to be proctored virtually by a company that the University has contracted for this service. Virtual proctors will take security measures, including a scan of your testing environment and a photo ID check. Students will also have the option to take exams on campus if they choose not to use a virtual proctor. Detailed information about how the virtual proctored exam works will be available to you in Canvas when the course begins.
