Submit a Proctor
What is a proctor, and how do I know if I need one?
A proctor is an individual approved to supervise test taking. Many online instructors require proctors to ensure academic honesty. Your instructor will inform you if he or she requires a proctor. To submit the proctor approval form, go to the Submit a Proctor page, under Current Student.
