If you would like to take advantage of this service, please follow the steps below:

  1. Work directly with the student(s) to determine an agreed upon test date time. (Due to student’s additional testing time, they may not be able to take their exams during the normal class time.) It is the instructor’s responsibility to schedule exams.
  2. Complete a Test Proctoring Form for each student each examfor which a proctor is needed.
