Proctored Testing
Many online courses require proctored exams. The proctor's role is to verify the identity of the student taking the exam and supervise to ensure that the instructions specified by the instructor are carried out.
Students who do not live near a USU Regional Campus will need to find someone to proctor their exams.
Finding a Proctor
Before you can take a proctored exam, you must select a certified proctor.
STEP 1: Sign in to the Materials & Testing Services site to select a proctor in your area.
STEP 2: Contact the proctor and schedule a time to take your exam(s).
STEP 3: YOU'RE DONE!
Who can be a Proctor
Examples of acceptable proctors are:
- College or professional testing center staff
- Full-time school or public librarian
- Full-time teacher
- School superintendent, principal, or other administrator
- Military education director
- Embassy education officer
Relatives, co-workers (of you or your family), and friends (of you or your family) are not eligible to proctor exams. Current and former USU students are also ineligible.
Some proctors may charge a fee for their services. Students are responsible for all fees incurred while taking exams.
