Therefore, this study will examine the perception and acceptance of distance learning students towards E-examination. In Nigeria, E-examination tends to be new trend in the educational system. However, only few Universities fully integrated this system especially in their distance learning programs. Therefore, this study is aimed to examine distance learning students’ level of E-examination acceptance. 148 year two students were surveyed, descriptive statistics was employed to determine students’ level of E-examination acceptance. The result indicated that distance learning students’ showed high level of acceptance to E-examination. Thus, E-examination should be fully implemented in Nigerian distance learning programs.
