A proctored final exam and one or more proctored midcourse tests are included in some Morris Online Learning (OL) courses.

A proctored exam: what is it?

Exams that are proctored are those that are seen by a proctor, an unbiased person, or by a proctoring system while the student is taking the test.

What is the role of a proctor?

In order to verify that the student taking the exam is the one registered for the course, the proctor or proctoring system authenticates the student before the exam. The proctor, or proctoring system, keeps an eye on the student as they take the test to make sure they are only using the permitted resources.

Why take tests with proctors?

to confirm the identity of the student, offer exam security, and guarantee academic integrity and honesty during the test.

Are there proctored tests for my course, and if so, what kind are they?

To find out which kind of proctoring is appropriate for a given course, navigate to the Online Learning course listing and choose the Summer, Fall, or Spring course list. One week prior to the start of the course, students receive a welcome letter from OL that includes a list of proctored exam dates.

Exam Types are listed below; click any exam type to discover how it operates.

How can I let others know where and when I’ll be taking my proctored exams? By the end of the first week of the course, all students enrolled in online courses that require proctored tests must fill up and submit the online Proctored Exam form, which specifies the location and method of the exam.

To find out who might proctor your exam, see the Exam Policies section below.

The week before the course begins is when you must turn in your proctored exam form for summer courses.

Exams missed and grade consequences may arise from late submission of your request and response to the proctor’s verification process.

Unless you need to switch proctors, you only need to identify a proctor once.

Please fill out a separate form for each online course you are enrolled in if you are required to take proctored exams.

Online Learning must verify each proctor request.

Policies for Proctored Exams

By the end of the first week of the course, all online students enrolled in courses that call for a proctored exam must fill up and submit the online Proctored Exam form, which specifies the location and method of the exam. The week before to the commencement of summer courses, the form needs to be sent in.

Before beginning a test, every student must present a picture ID to the proctor or proctoring system.

For every exam, each student may only utilize the materials approved by the course instructor.

The following are not permitted unless the instructor grants permission:

searching books, notes, the Internet, or other sources for answers, even if they are only partial solutions.

Getting help from anyone for your coursework while you’re taking the test

stealing any portion of the test to provide to other pupils

claiming there is an untrue emergency and asking for another chance

Proctored exams may be subject to additional rules and regulations from faculty members.

Examining Off-Campus Using Proctors

Before submitting the Proctored Exam form, you must get in touch with your proctor to make a service request.

It is not permitted to take proctored tests at the proctor’s or student’s residence.

The proctor receives the exams by mail at their place of business.

If the exam is online, the proctor receives an email with a password to open it.

It is the student’s responsibility to arrange with their proctor the time allotted for each exam.

Exams must be completed within the time frame that the instructor has provided in the welcome letter and/or on the course website.

Exams written on pencil and paper must be mailed by the proctor, not the student. There will be a return envelope available.

It is the proctor who needs to enter passwords, not the student.

Certain proctors demand payment for their assistance. Exam fees are the exclusive responsibility of the student.

Proctor Eligibility Off-Campus

Any proctor may be rejected at any time by the Morris Online Learning program.

Proctors cannot be members of the student’s family, friends, employer, coworkers, tutor, or anybody else with whom the student has a personal contact.

Proctors are not permitted to work as adjunct professors, teaching assistants, coaches, students, or directors of theater, chorus, or band.

The proctor must have access to a computer at the exam site if it is an online exam.

To validate the proctor’s title, they need to supply a physical work address and a professional email account that includes a portion of their name or position. It is not permitted to use Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, MSN, or any other type of general email address. If this isn’t feasible, the proctor’s supervisor must produce a signed letter on formal letterhead. English must be used in all written documentation.

The proctor’s legitimacy must be able to be confirmed by the Online Learning office.

During the exam, proctors need to be able to keep an eye on the student at all times.

If confirmed and approved by Online Learning, the following people may proctor tests outside of the US (students are responsible for any proctoring costs imposed by in-person proctors):

A member of the faculty or an official of a recognized college or university; not a teaching assistant.
