Proctor Information

Some Online courses require the use of a Proctor for exams. Students are responsible for finding their own proctor and submitting a proctor form by the end of the first week of classes.

If you are enrolled in the following online courses, you need to make arrangements for a proctor:

BIO 160, BUS 201, BUS 230
CHE 250
ECO 203, ECO 204
MAT 081, MAT 091, MAT 105, MAT 108, MAT 110, MAT 113, MAT 117, MAT 210, MLG 100
PHS 250
PSY 201, PSY 202, PSY 360

If you are enrolled in a course that requires proctors for the exams you need to have someone who is a responsible professional (see below for criteria), and not a relative, a close personal friend, or another student, agree to:

1. Receive the exam materials;
2. Administer the exams on the dates indicated; and
3. Return your completed answer sheets in a timely manner.

Arrangements for Exams

There are two options for arranging a proctor for the course exams. The option that applies to you depends on whether you intend to write your exams at one of the UW Colleges' campuses with an IT Support person as your proctor, or whether you intend to have someone other than an on-campus IT Support person proctor you exams.

Campus IT Support Personnel as Proctors:

If you intend to write your exams at one of the UW Colleges' campuses, you should contact the Network Administrator, or the Instructional Technology Specialist at that campus, and let that person know that you need a proctor. Click here to find the names of people you can contact on each of our campuses.

Once you have confirmed that the IT Support person will be able to administer the exams for you on the required dates, submit the information about your proctor electronically by clicking here. Do not complete the form until you have confirmation from the IT staff concerning the proctoring of your course exams. You will be able to access to the exam dates once you have access to the course site.

Proctors Other Than UW Colleges IT Support Personnel:

If you intend to have your exams proctored by someone other than the UW Colleges' IT Support personnel (see above), you need to have the person who will be proctoring your exam complete and sign a proctor form. (Click here to find out who qualifies to proctor exams in UW Colleges Online courses).

1. When you have confirmation that the person will be available on the required dates, print out the proctor form and fill in the required information completely, legibly, and ACCURATELY. You will be able to access to the exam dates once you have access to the course site.
2. When the form is complete, use your copy to submit the proctor information electronically by clicking here.
3. Keep the original form for your records in case questions arise.

Students With Disabilities Accommodations:

If you are a student with a disability and have an approved Individualized Accommodation Plan indicating that you need a reader for tests, you will need to find a proctor who is also willing to read your exams to you. In addition to submitting your proctor form, please send an email to the UW Colleges Online Proctor mailbox confirming that your proctor is also a reader. We will then provide your proctor with the necessary Reader Expectations for Examinations and Quizzes information. Only students with reader services recommended on UW Colleges approved Individualized Accommodation Plans are eligible for this accommodation service. We will provide your proctor with the Reader Expectations for Examinations and Quizzes.

It is ESSENTIAL that you submit all your proctor information NO LATER than the end of the first full week in the semester!
