EXAM PROCTORS
DATES TO KNOW

What is a proctor?
Proctors verify that exams are administered under the proper conditions. Some online classes require the midterm and the final exams be taken at a proctored site.

A proctor is usually someone who is employed full-time in education. Relatives, employers, or church leaders are not approved proctors. There are several proctor sites with which Ohio University works; those are listed below. You can also choose an alternate site, but must submit a request to do so 10 days prior to the test date--instructions are at the bottom of this page.

    How proctoring works:
    1. You select the proctor site that is most convenient to you, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CALL THE SITE AND MAKE A RESERVATION FOR TESTING.

    2. At least 10 days before your exam, fill out and submit the online form to notify OU of your proctoring arrangement. The form is available here: www.ohiou.edu/ouonline/proctorform.html

    3. If you are planning to use a proctoring site OTHER than those on the list below, see the bottom of this page for proctor qualifications.

    4. We will send exams to the proctor site.

    5. You take the exam as scheduled and the completed exam will be sent to Ohio University by the proctor site.

    A few things you need to know about proctor sites:

    • Proctor sites MAY charge fees for their services. The student is responsible for paying all fees for proctoring. We work to provide sites that are free or charge minimal fees. The list below includes the fee charged by the site. If you plan to use an alternate site, when you call for an appointment you should ask that site if a fee is charged.

    • If you have any questions regarding suitable proctors, contact Dorinda Hoyd, hoydd@ohio.edu or call 740.593.2902 or 1.888.551.6446

  • Verify that the student did not leave the room during the exam.

    If you would like to schedule an exam with a proctor not affiliated with Ohio University (not on the list above), make sure to submit the online form to notify OU of your proctoring arrangement at least 10 days before your exam date so we can verify the site and provide the appropriate exam information to that site.
