Some online courses currently require students to come to campus for in-person exams. Please be sure to check the Class Notes section in the Class Schedule for information about requirements or reach out to the academic department to confirm prior to enrolling.
A select number of courses require an in-person final exam and have an option for students to secure a proctor. The following online courses require an in-person final exam to be taken at the UC Berkeley campus OR students may secure a pre-approved proctor to supervise their final exam off-site (for instance, if they are unable to travel to Berkeley).

Acceptable Proctors
If you are enrolled in one of the courses above, you may be able to arrange a proctor from the following options.
- A professional or school testing center
- For example, a member of the National Testing Center Association (NTCA)
- A college/university faculty member or administrator
- A high school principal or administrator
- Staff member from a U.S. Embassy or Consular Office if you live overseas
- A Military chaplain or education officer if you serve in the armed forces
The proctor must not be a personal acquaintance, professional colleague, or family member of the student. Students are responsible for all arrangements and fees associated with the proctor/proctor site. All exams must be taken in-person; web/virtual proctoring services are not permitted.
All Proctors Must Be Pre-Approved
Once you choose a proctor and confirm they have the required day and time available, submit the appropriate proctor application form for your exam. It is strongly recommended that you do so as early as possible and no later than MONDAY, JULY 7. Please note, if you fail to submit the appropriate proctor application by the deadline above, you will be required to come to campus for your final exam.

Work With Proctor to Take Your Final Exam
Once Summer Sessions confirms that your proctor application has been approved, reach out to your proctor and ensure your exam is scheduled for the correct date and time.
On the day of your exam, ensure you have ample time for travel and parking. Failure to arrive at the designated final time may result in being unable to take the final exam. In the event of an emergency, notify both the proctor and Summer Sessions immediately (summeronline@berkeley.edu).
Items to bring with you:
- Your University or government-issued photo identification card (this name must match your student account)
- pen/pencil
- If your final exam is administered by bCourses, make sure that you bring your CalNetID and passphrase, as well as the device that you need for two-factor authentication.
