How do I take an exam on-site at the Independent Study office?
You may take an exam only after completing all of the lessons preceding that exam. If you are taking a final exam, all preceding exams must be graded. Some courses have additional requirements so check your study guide or online course syllabus to make sure you are ready to take an exam.
If you live in the Lawrence area or if you wish to take an exam at our Lawrence location, you do not need an appointment if you come Monday – Friday between 8:30 am – 2 pm to start your exam. Tuesdays when evening exams are offered, you may come in no later than 6 pm to start an exam. Please see the chart below for Tuesday exam dates.
If you arrive with less than the full time allowed for the exam before the exam room closes or haven’t fulfilled the requirements to take an exam you will not be allowed to take the exam. Your study guide or online course syllabus gives the time allowed for completing exams. You are encouraged to call our office to confirm that your course requirements have been met before coming to take an exam.

Where do I park if I am coming to take an exam?
KU Independent Study is housed in the Continuing Education building located at 1515 St. Andrews Drive, Lawrence. Visitor parking, as well as yellow-permit KU parking, is available.
What should I bring with me to take my exam?
Please bring a photo ID with you to the exam site, as well as any allowed study aids. Check your study guide or online course syllabus for a listing of materials that you are allowed to use during the exam.
What is the format of my exam?
The Independent Study office will not provide any details on the format, length, or nature of the exam, other than the information that is already provided in the study guide or online syllabus.
Will I get my exam back after it is graded?
Due to security and exam integrity concerns, you will not get a copy of your exam after you have taken it. You will receive a report in the mail that contains instructor comments and your grade. If you would like to review the exam itself, you may request a time to view the exam in the Continuing Education building.
