Guidelines for Proctors

The main concern for a proctor is preserving the academic integrity of student examinations.  In order to maintain these standards, we reccommend the following guidelines:
    Prior to Submitting a Proctor Request Form:
  1. In order to complete the proctor request form, the student will need the following information from you, the proctor:
    • Name and Title
    • Email Address
    • Business Name
    • Mailing Address
    • Daytime Phone and Fax
  2. Once the proctor request form is submitted by the student, Distance Learning will evaluate the request and respond directly to the proctor via email.

  3. Distance Learning will email the proctor all directions and materials required for the exam. Review any and all attachments and notify Distance Learning if there are any questions or concerns.
  4. Review Distance Learning Student Testing Policy
  5. Please Note: If you are not able to supervise the student, please do not pass the examination on to another proctor without first obtaining permission from the Distance Learning office.  In order to maintain accreditation standards each individual proctor must be approved by Distance Learning through a proctor request form. 
    Prior to Administering the Exam:
  1. Ask the student for photo identification to verify identity.
  2. Students are not allowed to use personal computers or laptops for proctored exams.
  3. Find a quiet area where the student may take the exam with little distraction. Allow students to bring in this area only those materials needed for the exam.
  4. If the student is taking an electonic exam, verify all additional browser windows are closed prior to entering the password.
  5. If the student is taking a paper exam, set a watch or timer for the time allowed.  When the time is up, collect the exam whether the student is finished or not.
  6. The student must work independently on the exam, without assistance from other persons or from other references, unless otherwise indicated. 
    After the Exam:
  1. If the student has taken an electronic exam Fax or email a completed Certificate of Supervision to Distance Learning
  2. If the student has taken a paper exam fax, or scan and email the exam along with a completed Certificate of Supervision to Distance Learning immediately following the end of the exam.  In addition, please verify with Distance Learning that the fax or scanned copy of the exam is legible.
