Effective Winter Semester 2012, a student registered in a distance course will be required to present both a Memorial Campus Card ID and a piece of government-issued photo identification to invigilators prior to writing tests and examinations. It is the responsibility of the exam invigilator to determine if the likeness between the two pieces of ID is true. A student will not be permitted to write the exam if the invigilator does not find a match between both photos.
Distance students can obtain their Campus Cards by following the instructions at www.mun.ca/answers.
