Proctoring General Info

Many of our classes are A-G and require students to have their final exams proctored. For the complete list of which courses require proctoring, please check here.

• • Credit Recovery (CR) students are allowed to take exams as soon as they are finished with the course. They can either schedule to take it with you or at the weekly proctoring. Weekly proctoring is only offered to CR students. If a course does not require proctoring, the exam for CR students only can be opened as soon as the student is finished with the course.

  • Traditional track students will take all of their final exams at the end of the semester during final exam week. No finals can be taken early without administrative approval.

We offer 2 options for proctoring:

• 1. They can come to an Adobe classroom (CR can do proctoring weekly and traditional will do proctoring during finals week) and have their exam proctored via webcam. If they do not have a webcam, we will send a webcam to them at no cost. In the HR welcome letter, there is a survey for them to complete about which proctoring option they would like to select. If they need a webcam, there is a tab on the "Proctoring Sheet" for you to enter the information of any student who requests a webcam. Our guidance tech, Danielle, will get the webcam sent to them and report the tracking information on the proctoring sheet.

  2. This option should not be advertised and is only for special cases!!! They can obtain an outside proctor who is at least 18 years of age, not related to them, and able to be physically present when they take the exam. There is form, "Outside Proctor", that they need to fill out, sign, and return to you. Once you have the form on file and it has been placed in the "Signed Affidavit" folder, they will be able to take their final exam with their chosen proctor (CR can take during the semester and traditional will take during finals week). Ask them for a specific day and time when they will be physically sitting with their proctor to take the exam. Open the exam at that time, and indicate on the proctoring sheet the date it was opened and your initials.

Mid-Semester Proctoring

Since CR students will be taking final exams as they finish courses, we offer weekly proctoring. Typically the proctoring is offered on Thursdays at 4pm and Fridays at 10am in our proctoring room. Remember, only CR students are allowed to take final exams during the semester. All traditional track students must wait until the end of the semester.

There will be a sign-up schedule sent out at a later date, but teachers will be signing up for 1 evening shift and 1 morning shift to proctor.

End of Semester Proctoring

We want to encourage students to do their best in their courses and take their time completing assignment so most of our final exam proctoring will take place the last week of semester. We usually proctor about 100 CR student exams prior to finals week, but still the majority of final exams are proctoring during the last week. The proctoring room will be open from 9am to 7pm, Monday-Friday to accommodate as many students as possible.

During finals week, all teachers will be required to work 1-3 shifts that are 2-3 hours in length. The number of shifts will depend on whether you are full time or part time. A survey will be sent out in a few weeks for you to identify your availability during that week so that a schedule can be made. Please be as flexible as possible with your schedule since we have a lot of students to proctor during that week.

We will be sending out more directions about final exam settings and proctoring at a later date.
