(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 Proctoring Approval Form, you will need to reach out to your non-OTC facility to see if they are available to proctor your exam.
  • 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 guidelines:
    • The identity of the student is to be verified.
    • The student is monitored during the entirety of the exam.
    • The exam must be completed in one sitting.
    • At no time will the student be allowed to see a provided password.
    • If this is a paper/pencil exam, you (the proctor) will be able to scan and email the exam back to the instructor.
  • 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 Proctoring Approval Form.
    • This is why we request at least 2 Business Days for processing.
• Important limitations:
  • The below form is NOT to be used for COM-100/105 proctoring. Instead, please visit the Speech Communication Center for off-campus proctoring requests.
  • If you attend a OTC Dual Credit program high school, do NOT submit this form. Contact your designated high school proctor for instructions.
• Example of Approved Proctors:
  • University testing center administrators, high school administrators, professional librarians at a public library, testing control or unit education officers at U.S. military bases, or U.S. embassy officials.
• Example of Unapproved Proctors:
  • Self, relatives, friends, clergy, and employers.

OTC Testing Services proctors non-OTC exams with Testing Services approval.

There is a $20 proctor fee for Non-OTC exams. This can be paid in person on campus, or you can pay online for a $3.00 fee. (More information can be found on the Non-OTC Exam Proctoring page.)

If the exam is computer based, it must not require any software or extension downloads.

If the exam is paper based, the exam must be emailed to and from the testing center. We will not mail exams back through USPS, UPS, or Fed Ex.

Please have your institution send all correspondence to testingservices@otc.edu

Please note that when scheduling testing, childcare is not provided at the Testing Center.
