Many midcourse and final exams must be administered by a proctor. Relatives, employers, or church leaders are not approved proctors. It is the student's responsibility to contact the proctor to set up an appointment to take the exam. Proctors may charge a fee to administer the exam. If you have any questions regarding suitable proctors, please contact the Ohio University Online staff.
Proctors verify that our exams are administered under the proper conditions.
Keep the exam in the sealed envelope until the student is ready to take it. Verify that the student took the exam without use of unauthorized books, notes, or reference aides of any kind. Remain in the room with the student while he or she takes the exam. Verify that the student did not leave the room during the exam. Collect all the papers and questions at the conclusion of the exam.
