What are Proctored Exams?

A proctored exam is a supervised test. An instructor or an approved proctor monitor the student during the test. The proctor ensures that the rules and requirements of the exam are followed.

Some online instructors require proctored exams for their course. A proctored exam is taken on-campus and is supervised, just like a course taken on campus.

Please check the course syllabus or contact the instructor directly to learn about the proctoring requirements and options for the course. Students are responsible for any fee associated with the proctoring requirement.
