As the number of KCTCS students participating in distance learning continues to increase, more faculty are requiring proctored exams. This page has been developed as a faculty guideline for requesting proctored exams from, and communicating with, area testing centers. Within the framework of the KCTCS Home College Model, a responsibility of the Distance Learning Instructor (DLI) will be to effectively manage the timely distribution of tests requiring a proctor for students enrolled in online classes.
Faculty Procedures for Administering Tests through a Proctor
Faculty members determine whether proctored examinations are essential requirements for their course.
- In a situation where a student cannot travel to a KCTC proctor center, instructor and student shall agree upon the appropriate proctoring environment such as employer, faculty, library, public school, university, etc.
- For online classes, instructors will deliver no more than two proctored exams per class per term.
- Exams should be delivered within a window consisting of a variety of times and days that will accommodate individual student needs.
- All exams will be delivered to students and submitted by students online. Testing centers should not be required to fax or mail completed exams.
- Where required by a KCTCS college, faculty will submit to a proctored exam database all proctored exam information including password within the first two weeks of the beginning of 16-week term, and faculty will submit proctor exam information to the proctor password library.
- Faculty will inform students of the proctored exam scheduling procedure. Faculty may refer students to the proctor exam information homepage: http://www.kctcs.edu/distancelearning/testingcenters.htm
- Indicate on the password library submission form if secure browser will be required for exam.
