Makeup Exam Proctoring

The Academic Proctoring Center (APC) offers in-person makeup exam proctoring for students who cannot test within the parameters/dates set by their instructor due to extenuating circumstances. Makeup exams are offered at the Oceanside, San Elijo, and Community Learning Center campuses.  Please note: Makeup exams are not offered during high usage times like midterms and finals.

Important Updates for Instructors

The APC allows up to (7) seven makeup exam requests per course section each semester. Makeup exam services are available on an individual basis, not intended for entire classes or large groups of students.  As a reminder, if we are unable to approve/accommodate a makeup exam for your student(s), we recommend reaching out to your Division Admin Support to find a space on campus for you to proctor the makeup exam.

Change for Online Sections Utilizing APC

This semester we are updating the process for submitting makeup exams for students in online courses (this does not apply to on-ground courses, please use above process). Makeup exams are not available to online APC students who failed to schedule their initial appointments with the APC before their exam windows. 

If a student in an online APC section needs to miss an exam scheduled with the APC, please email proctoringcenter@miracosta.edu with the following information:

  • Student Name
  • Course/Section
  • Exam #
  • Makeup Exam Window 

Important
If you plan to give a different version of the exam than the one already on file, please submit a Makeup Exam Request. This process only applies to exams that were already submitted on the original Test Transmittal Form for the entire class.
