Proctored Testing Options

Students may choose off-campus proctoring from one of the options below.  Any fees, such as exam proctoring fees, are the responsibility of the student.

The test taker (student) must present an official university or government identification (e.g. college/university ID, drivers’ license).

Option 1

The test taker (student) may use a proctor from any regionally-accredited two- or four-year college or university that offers proctored testing services.
