What Do I Need to Tell my Institution?

You will need to let your home Institution know:

• the date and KPU campus you have booked your exam.
• all exams & instructions must be emailed to testing@kpu.ca at least 3 days before the exam test date or we may have to reschedule your exam. We will not accept exams by mail or courier.

An Invigilator Confirmation Form may need to be submitted by us before your test is sent. Scan and email the Form to testing@kpu.ca. The Testing Centre staff will complete/sign the form  electronically and email it back to you. You are responsible for sending this to your Institution. They may not release the exam to us until they receive this form.

Your Institution will need to email your exam & instructions to the correct campus email address below:
