Testing Services

Assessments in online classes at Missouri Southern can be completed online. Students taking online classes requiring proctored tests, which are tests that must be taken in the physical presence of a testing monitor, will be provided the option of completing such exams online, at the professor's discretion. To take advantage of this option, students will need a reliable internet connection and computer with audio/video capabilities. Students are responsible for a one-time, per-class, per-semester $10.00 charge for this service. Students also have the option of completing proctored exams at physical testing locations, either on campus or at remote locations. There is no charge when using Missouri Southern’s Testing Services Office on campus.
