Off-Campus/Dual Credit Proctoring Approval Form

(2 Business Days Required for Processing)

• Student Instructions:
  • Students must submit a separate form for each proctored exam they wish to complete at a non-OTC facility.
  • Before you submit the Off-Campus/Dual Credit Proctoring Approval Form, you will need to reach out to your non-OTC facility to see if they are available to proctor your exam.
    • For dual-credit students: The best and preferred option is for students to take their proctored exams at their high school with a high school employee designated as the proctor.
  • Once the form is submitted, it will not be approved until Testing Services contacts the non-OTC facility to see if they will adhere to the following proctoring expectations:
    • Verify the student’s identity.
    • Ensure the testing room is quiet and conducive to testing.
    • Monitor the student for the entire duration of the exam.
    • Ensure the exam is completed in one sitting.
    • Do not allow the student to see or enter the password.
    • Follow all instructions provided by the instructor.
    • For paper/pencil exams, scan and email the completed exam to the instructor.
    • Report any incidents of suspicious behavior or blatant cheating to the instructor.
    • Proctors should not be relatives, friends, clergy, or employers of the student.
  • Once Testing Services hears back from the non-OTC facility, an approval or denial email will be sent back to the student.
    • If approved, Testing Services will send the exam and exam information the day before you are to test to your non-OTC facility.
    • If denied, the student will need to find a different location and resubmit the Off-Campus/Dual Credit Proctoring Approval Form.
    • This is why we request at least 2 Business Days for processing.
