— The aim of the current research was to detect how undergraduates from the faculties of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and health sciences felt about using electronic assessment at the time of COVID-19. Cross-sectional research was made at the University of Sharjah in UAE between January and April 2021. As a study tool, a questionnaire with 26 items was created using Google Forms and disseminated by the registration department via the learner's E-learning platforms. The study's data were analyzed using SPSS software. The outcomes demonstrated that students had a high level of acceptance of the computerized assessment. The overall arithmetic mean of the students' replies was (3.49) and had a standard deviation of (1.33), indicating that they accepted the electronic assessment to a high degree. Furthermore, there was a discernible difference between the acceptance of the internet-based assessment by male and female students, but the College of Medicine (COM) students benefited significantly from the variation in acceptance of the assessment depending on the variable of college. Students who had inadequate computer capacities, on the other hand, were more receptive to electronic testing. The study's findings may be helpful in developing academic methods, rearranging assessment alternatives, and changing the academic curriculum to address the problems and limitations of electronic assessment.
