Though courses are web-based, you will need to take some exams in a proctored setting.   For your convenience, we have provided several locations where you can take the exams with a proctor.  You are permitted to find your own proctor and location (all costs associated will be your responsibility).  However, the proctor and location you select must be approved by the instructor at least five business days prior to the exam date.  

• Proctor Identification and Approval Form (for proctors outside Kent State University). 

What a proctor does:

• Verify the identity of the student. 
• Verify that the student took the exam without use of unauthorized books, notes, or reference aides of any kind. 
• Remain in the room while the student 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.  
• Sign an examination cover sheet verifying that the exam was supervised under the proper conditions, if required by the instructor. 
• Return the exam to the faculty member per the faculty member's instructions.

A proctor is usually someone who is employed full-time in education. Relatives, direct supervisors, or church leaders are not approved proctors. There are several proctor sites with which Kent State University works; those are listed below. You can also choose an alternate site, but must submit a request to do so five business 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.
   1. If you are testing at a Kent State University campus, please have the instructor contact that campus with details of the exam prior to the scheduling of the exam and to authorize the campus to administer the test to you.
   2. If you are testing somewhere other than a Kent State University campus, At least five business days before your exam, fill out and submit the online form (.Doc) to notify (KSU or instructor) of your proctoring arrangement. 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.
2. Arrive at the testing location promptly at the scheduled time. Students arriving late may be asked to reschedule their appointments based upon facility resources.
3. Take the exam at the testing location; the proctor will administer the exam exactly to the directions provided by the instructor. Questions that arise about the exam should be directed to the instructor after the testing has completed.
4. The exam will be returned to the instructor per the instructions provided by the instructor.

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 your instructor.

Rescheduling policy: In the event of needing to reschedule an exam, we require 48 hours’ notice (two working business days) to reschedule your exam. While we will attempt to accommodate your request to reschedule, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to reschedule for your desired time based upon our available resources. Rescheduling with less than 48 hours’ notice will be considered a cancellation which will require a full weeks’ notice to reschedule the exam.

The proctored testing service will be provided in suite 204 in the Schwartz Center on the Kent Campus. The service is available to any Kent State University student. Students will be required to present a government-issued or Kent State University photo ID to their test proctor when they come to take their test.  

This service is not available for entire classes of students. Students requiring proctored testing on any of the regional campuses should contact the regional campus directly for assistance.
