Q: Has PAEA considered allowing the End of Curriculum exam to be proctored by ProctorU, MonitorEDU, Examity, or another remote proctoring service given the potential for campuses to be closed and students who are symptomatic or in quarantine to test at home?
A: End of Curriculum exams are temporarily suspended.
PAEA continues to explore capabilities for delivering the End of Curriculum exam to students in remote settings. After considering all of the current possibilities, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to temporarily suspend access to and delivery of End of Curriculum exams to limit risks of exposure of this secure, standard-set exam. We have not yet identified a timeline to resume End of Curriculum administration. We will provide ongoing updates as they become available.

Q: In light of COVID 19, can programs use remote proctoring services with PAEA exams?
A: At this time, assessments are continuing with the following changes:
- End of Curriculum exams are temporarily suspended.
- PACKRAT may be given at home in a proctored or unproctored mode, see instructions here. Programs who wish to do so may continue to monitor students via remote proctoring services.
- End of Rotation exams will proceed with the following updates:
- If you have a remote proctoring service, and wish to continue using it, please do so.
- If you wish to use a remote proctoring service, and are investigating different vendors, ensure it’s compatible with examdriver.com.
- Programs can use a non-traditional secondary camera to proctor the exam.
We have temporarily waived the requirement for high-security remote proctoring tools and will rely on the honor system and codes of conduct of the educational institution.

Q: In light of the Coronavirus pandemic, I was curious if our program can be refunded for the End of Curriculum exams we have purchased as these cannot be remote proctored? Will this be done automatically, or do we need to do anything?
A: Yes, we can refund your program for your End of Curriculum exams. Also please remember that End of Curriculum exams never expire so you can keep them in your account to use for your next class.

Q: Our university is closing when we planned to administer our End of Curriculum exams. Can we cancel this purchase and apply the credit towards the cost of Student Exam Boxes that we plan to purchase for our students next year?
A: examdriver.com doesn't allow us to credit an account in this way. The individual End of Curriculum exams you have purchased never expire and you can keep them in your account for your next cohort. However, if necessary we can refund your university for the individual End of Curriculum exams you currently have, and you can then purchase the Student Exam Boxes for your next class.---------------------------------------------------------
Q: We have a student with ADA Accommodations. Can the End of Curriculum exam be taken in one day?
A: No. The exam without time accommodations is 5 hours long and scheduled for 1 day. Time accommodations require a two-day event. See “How do I schedule an End of Curriculum exam with accommodations?”
Also, please remember the End of Curriculum exams is currently suspended, see here for more information.
