Test Proctoring Guidelines

 

 

The Mathematics Department has established guidelines and procedures by which students enrolled in online Mathematics Courses may take proctored examinations outside Valencia College.

 

  1. Proctored exams must be taken and supervised at an official testing center at a community college, college or university, high school, or other certified educational institution.
  2. The student is responsible for arranging with the proctoring testing center.
  3. The proctor must confirm the arrangements with the student by contacting through e-mail the instructor giving the tests.  The e-mail must come from the institution’s testing center, and must include the proctor’s name, title, and the institution phone number.
  4. The student is responsible for paying to the proctoring institution any testing/proctoring fees, including costs for returning completed exams to the professor.
  5. The student is responsible for carefully reading the online syllabus and carefully following the test deadlines.  The deadline for taking the Final Exam will be one week prior to the one posted on the syllabus.  This will ensure that the Final will be delivered on time, get graded, and the student will get a grade for the course. 
  6. When proctoring a test, the proctor must identify the student taking the test with a photo ID.
  7. The proctor must notify instructor if the exam procedure has been compromised.
  8. The student must inform the instructor by e-mail immediately after taking a test.
  9. Once the student takes a test, the proctor will mail the exam to the instructor in an official institutional envelope to the following address:

701 N. Econlockhatchee Trail

Orlando, FL 32825

 

  1. If a student fails to follow these guidelines, she/he will be required to take the exams at a Valencia College testing center.

 

In addition, it is the student's responsibility to remind the proctor to send a confirmation e-mail to the instructor five to seven days before the proctored exam, so that the instructor would forward the necessary proctoring instructions to the proctor for that exam.
