Online Course Exam Proctor Information

Proctor Description:

A proctor is an individual who agrees to receive the tests from the student’s instructor, administer them in an approved environment, and return them to the instructor. The proctor must verify the student completed the test according to the specific instructions provided by the instructor. In some cases the student will take the test online using ANGEL or another test management program. In this case a password is sent to the proctor. After the student logs in to the course and clicks to start the test the proctor at the approved testing center will enter the password in to the computer so that the student may gain access to the online test in a controlled environment.

  • NIACC Student Learning Center (SLC)
  • College or university testing center
  • College or university personnel: administrator, faculty member, counselor, or librarian
  • Public or private school personnel: superintendent, principal, guidance counselor, librarian, or teacher

  • Arranging for a Proctor:
