Proctoring Rules and Requirements

Proctoring Rules:


  1. You must take the exam in the same room that you scanned during the proctoring setup for the current exam. (Note: Each time you take a proctored exam, you must complete a webcam scan of the room where you will be taking the exam. However, you do not have to take all of your proctored exams in the same room.)

  2.  No other person is allowed to enter the room while you are taking the proctored exam.

  3.  You must sit at a clean desk or table.

  4. The desk or walls around you must not have any writing.

  5. The room must be as quiet as possible. Sounds such as music or television are not permitted.

  6. Verify your identity using a photo ID that has your name and photo on the same side. The name must match the full name you use on your account. 

  7. Dress as though you were in public.

  8. You will not be allowed to use headphones, earbuds, or any other type of listening device.

  9. Do not communicate with any other person by any means during the test.

  10. You may not use a phone for any reason.

  11. Do not leave the room during the exam for any reason unless posted rules for the exam specifically permit you to do so. 

  12. You are allowed one 3x5 index card (handwritten on both sides) during the exam that is made up of your own notes.
