Assessment tests for Douglas College students outside of the Lower Mainland 

If you reside outside the Vancouver Lower Mainland or outside of Canada, we are able to offer remote online assessment tests (by appointment only). To participate in a remote test, you must have a desktop PC or laptop equipped with a webcam, capable of screen sharing and remote access, along with stable internet connectivity. Available dates and times vary, so we recommend contacting us at least one to two weeks in advance to arrange a mutually convenient time.

To inquire about this option, please email Assessment Services at assessment@douglascollege.ca. Please note that evening or weekend testing cannot be accommodated.
