Proctoring Guidelines

EXAMINATION PROCTOR GUIDELINES FOR DISTANCE LEARNING/OFF CAMPUS STUDENTS

Students may take examinations off campus as long as security measures for administering the tests are strictly maintained before, during and after testing. Off campus examinees should be testing under the same conditions as their on-campus peers to ensure the academic integrity of the examination. Please consider finding a proctor on the “appropriate” proctor list to ensure approval.
