PROCTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Proctor Specifications:
This course will require you to provide a volunteer who will agree to serve as your proctor for Unit exams. This individual should be someone who will be available for you at the times that you are required to take the exams. This individual will need to supply their time in proctoring the exam and also must send the completed exams to the instructor. The proctor cannot be a family member. Local teachers, counselors, or administrators would be acceptable. The instructor will need the name, address, phone #, e-mail address and relation or position that your proctor holds. You can supply this information by filling out and submitting the student survey. The student will be required to incur any costs involved in sending the exams to the instructor for correction. Approval of a proctor rests completely with the instructor. Upon approval the exams will be sent to the proctor.

3290 DISTANCE EDUCATION PROCTOR POLICY

The college may allow supervised tests and assessments to be administered by an approved test proctor at an alternate site.  Proctors are individuals who supervise course tests and assessments.  Proctors have a responsibility to ensure integrity during testing situations and should have no vested interest in student success on the exam. The college (i.e. course instructor) reserves the right to verify proctor qualifications, require additional evidence of eligibility, or require a different proctor be selected. The student is responsible for selecting a qualified proctor who then must be approved by the course instructor.  Individuals who are eligible for approval include:  College or public librarians, high school or college faculty, college testing or learning centers, or education officers in the military. Individuals who may NOT serve as proctors, regardless of other qualifications, are relatives, friends, neighbors, tutors, work supervisors, co-workers, clergy, or coaching staff. Falsifying proctor information or not following proctor testing procedures is considered a violation of the NCTC Student Code of Conduct and the student may be subject to college sanction (i.e. suspension) or course failure.

3290P DISTANCE EDUCATION PROCTOR PROCEDURE

A student enrolled in a distance education course must submit to the faculty member assigned to the course, information about his/her proposed community-based testing environment and proctor through the following procedure: 

  1. The student locates a proctor candidate and potential test environment that meet specific criteria. Individuals eligible for approval include: college or public librarians, high school or college faculty, college testing or learning centers, or education officers in the military.  Individuals who may NOT serve as proctors, regardless of other qualifications, are relatives, friends, neighbors, tutors, work supervisors, co-workers, clergy, or coaching staff.

  2. The student submits the proctor information on a form provided by the course instructor during the first week of the semester.

  3. The designated faculty for the course evaluates the information and decides on behalf of the college whether the proposed test environment and proctor meet the required criteria and will communicate the approval status of the proctor request to the student.

  4. If the designated faculty determines that the proposed test environment or proctor does not meet the college requirements for any reason, the student will be asked to locate a different proctor and to resubmit the new information following the previous steps.

Enrolled students who fail to submit information for approval will be expected to complete all tests and assessments on designated dates at one of the Northland Community and Technical College campuses.
