FAQs
If proctoring is implemented in an eLearning course, students have the option of taking tests or completing projects by a variety of methods:
- at testing centers (e.g., commercial or institutional),
- through an approved test proctor (recommended),
- through a distance learning instructor, or
- at University Libraries (Virginia Tech campus, 540-231-6170) or at a VT extended campus location.
Proctors must be approved by the student's course instructor. They must be selected by a date established by that instructor. A proctor can be a faculty member, administrator, or other professional staff member of a school or college, an employee of a commercial testing center, an educational counselor, a library staff member, a member of the clergy, or a supervisor at work. A proctor cannot be a family member or a co-worker. The student's instructor must approve requests for proctored tests and the individual proctor. The course instructor will reserve the right to contact a student's requested proctor and to reject requests for a specific proctor for any reason.
Proctors are required to monitor the test taking, and return the test to the course instructor. Proctors should be able to answer any questions on test taking procedures, not questions on test content. Students are not permitted to leave the testing area until the test has been completed and both student and proctor are required to sign the verification form sent with the test(s).
