Proctored Testing

Procedures for Requesting Off-Site Proctoring of Test

When circumstances dictate that a student must take his/her tests at another college testing site, the student must follow these procedures: 

1. Contact the testing center at the college where you’d like to take your tests and arrange to have a testing proctor from that college agree to proctor your tests/exams at an appropriate location at the college.  Note: Students are responsible for any “fees” that may be required for this service.  We require a minimum one week notice prior to the date you are to take your first test to process testing requests. It is important that you plan ahead.  The Center for Distance Learning (CDL) will not fax or email tests to other testing sites. Regardless of your location, your instructor will expect you to meet all course deadlines.  Remember “prior planning prevents poor performance.”
    

2. Have the testing proctor at the off-site college complete the Proctor Request Form and submit it electronically. Proctors may send emails to: distance-ed@reynolds.edu. Submit a proctor request form for each course you wish to have proctored.  NOTE: Be sure you have given the proctor your name, the course, section, and the name of your instructor.  Let the proctor know if we are to send “all” tests or only certain tests (if certain tests – please specify which tests you want sent).  Ex: Jane Doe, MTH150-DL01, instructor name – send all tests or send only the Final Exam.
    

3. Once CDL has received this email from the proctor and have verified the proctor information, the CDL will mail the test(s) to that proctor.
    
4. The CDL will provide the proctor with a self-addressed postage paid return envelope for each test to be mailed back to us.  Note: students may choose to provide a traceable mailer (ex. UPS, FEDEX, USPO Certified Mailer) for returning completed tests to us at their expense. If a student wishes to pay for this type of return mail, the proctor must seal the completed test(s) in our postage paid self-addressed envelope, tape across the sealed label and write his/her signature across the sealed/taped flap. Student may take this secured envelope to be mailed by the traceable carrier he/she chooses.
   
   If, the CDL receives the traceable return mailer and notice the sealed envelope with the proctor’s signature has been tampered with in any way, the CDL will notify the instructor of this situation.  Instructors have the option of accepting or discarding tests that have been tampered with.
