We recommend the following technical specifications to ensure that students can successfully take proctored examinations and complete their coursework. If you have questions, contact us at support@emalearning.org.
It is the responsibility of the student to meet these requirements. If you use technology that does not meet these requirements, it is possible you will not be able to complete some course material. Should this be the case, you are advised to contact the academic department as soon as possible.
