A proctored exam is a supervised exam. Students are responsible for arranging for a proctor to supervise the exam. All proctors must be approved by the instructor 2 weeks prior to the exam. The proctor may be a school principal or administrator, counselor, certified librarian, military educator, teacher, test administrator at a testing office of a community college or university, or a minister of an established church or synagogue or anyone else deemed appropriate by the instructor. Relatives, no matter what their position, may not serve as a proctor. Proctors usually will supervise exams without charge. However, any charge will be the responsibility of the student. The necessary steps for taking a proctored exam are outlined below:

1. Submit a Proctor Approval Form as directed in the Course Guide or Syllabus.
   (You will be asked for the name, title, phone number, email address, mailing address, and fax number of your proctor.
2. The exam will be delivered to the proctor at the appropriate time.
3. Plan to take the exam following the guidelines of the syllabus.
4. Plan to arrive at the testing location at least fifteen minutes before the hour set for the
   exam. Remember to bring pencil or pen and any other supplies that may be necessary.
5. Upon completing the exam, return it to the proctor and the proctor will return the exam to
   the college using the self-addressed envelope.
6. Extenuating circumstances should be approved and arranged with the instructor.
7. Noncompliance will invalidate the exam.
