Distance Learning

A proctored assessment could be an essay, a speech, lab experiments, etc.  The objective of this requirement is to verify that we have identified the student enrolled in the course, and that we have assessed the student enrolled in the course at least once.

Faculty should be familiar with BRCC's Testing Center instructions and are responsible for completing the BRCC Test Administration Request Form.

Students who cannot take the test at the BRCC Testing Center must make arrangements with the instructor to take the test at another approved testing center or through one of BRCC's online proctoring services, if you have it available in your course. It is the student’s responsibility to find an appropriate testing center and complete the student proctor exam form. Students will submit the form to the instructor. The instructor will send the form along with the test and test instructions to the contact person listed on the form. Faculty should also provide the following to the testing center if applicable:

• Paper Tests - send a copy of the instructions, as well as the test and scantron, if you would like your students to use them.

• Online Tests - provide instructions of how to access the test, as well as the password.

The assessment may be given using one of BRCC’s remote proctoring services: (1) Respondus Lockdown Browser and Video Monitoring, (2) Zoom, (3) Examity (student fee applies). 

Below is a sample statement you may include in your Syllabi.  

You will be required to take at least one proctored assessment. The test will be given in the BRCC Testing Center, or you may make arrangements with your instructor to take the proctored test at any other college, university, military testing center.

There is no charge for tests at the BRCC Testing Center. Students who live outside the BRCC service area and arrange to take the test or exam at another site or through BRCC's remote proctoring service. Students are responsible for any fees associated with test proctoring at the selected site. 

Your instructor will announce the test at least one week prior to the test. You must take the test during the allotted dates and times given by your instructor. Do not wait until the last minute to take the test as seats are limited. 

Examity is a remote proctoring service that offers live proctoring through the use of a webcam and microphone.  Students are responsible for paying for Examity’s live proctoring service with a credit card at the time of scheduling.  Proctoring is $12 for the first hour, and $6 for each additional hour.  Students must pay for the full scheduled time, whether it is used or not. When using Examity, students need to schedule an exam at least 2 weeks in advance in order to ensure a convenient testing time and to avoid extra fees. Exams scheduled within 24 hours or schedule changes (including cancellations) within 24 hours will result in a $5.00 charge per occurrence. “No shows” or incompletes will be charged in full.
