ARRANGING FOR A PROCTORED EXAMINATION
To take an off-site proctored exam, the student must secure an approved proctor and an approved
test location as follows:
1. Find a proctor and test site. Contact the testing center at a university, college, or community
college near you. Retain a qualified individual to proctor your examination. Arrange for a date
and time for the exam. You are responsible for paying any expenses involved. Suggested
locations:
• National College Testing Association (NCTA)
• California Community Colleges Proctoring Network
2. Fill out paperwork to get proctor and test site approved. Complete the information required
on the Test Proctoring Form (page 3 and 4), and have the proctor sign it. Fax or scan and
Email the completed and signed form to the Distance Education Office. This completed form
must be received no later than two weeks days before the first day of testing.
3. Await approval. The proposed proctor may be approved or disapproved based upon the
assessment of the request, after the Distance Education Office contacts the proctor. You will
be notified if the proctor is approved or not approved.
4. Your proctor will receive your exam. After your request is approved, the exam(s) and
instructions will be faxed or Emailed to the proctor (Email is the preferred method). It is the
student’s responsibility to confirm the date and time of the exam with the proctor.
5. Your proctor will return your exam. Your proctor must return your exam by fax or Email to
the Distance Education Office by the date marked on the Off-Site Proctor Instruction Sheet,
which will be sent with your exam.
Note: Notify the instructor and the proctor if you need to reschedule your exam.
