ASO EXAM FEE REINSTATED - SUMMER 2022 TERM

The Arts and Science Online exam fee of $100 per course has been reinstated beginning in the Summer 2022 term for online proctored exams. Students will have two options to write their exams:
 
  1. They may write online using Examity proctoring services.
  2. They may choose to write their exams in-person on Queen's campus in Kingston.

Students writing in-person in Kingston will NOT be required to pay the exam fee. Should you decide to write your exam on campus, you must be vaccinated against COVID-19, as the vaccination mandate for the post-secondary sector remains in effect for Ontario.
