Choosing an In-Person Proctor - Distance Education Students

Prior Authorization Required

Finding an in-person proctor is only permitted with prior authorization from your instructor, if you have special circumstances (slow internet, documented testing accommodation, privacy concerns, etc), and if you feel you can safely travel away from home in order to work with an in-person proctor. Please work with your course instructor and the guidelines provided below.

Remember you should plan to use Examity unless you have prior authorization from your instructor. Alternative proctoring arrangements must be requested and approved at least two weeks before Finals Week. If you have been approved for an alternative there are two options:

1. Find a proctor in your geographic region using the Proctor Agreement Form
2. Work with the IU East Testing Center. There are limited slots available through the IUE Testing Center. These fill on a first-come-first-served basis.

Setting up a alternate proctor in your region

Reminder: Finding a proctor in your geographic region should only be pursued in special circumstances and after you have approval from your instructor.

At this time, only Exam 4 will be proctored. When you find a proctor, you will need to sign up for a 2-hour block of time to take the exam. Below is the testing window for each exam:

- Exam 1 - (not proctored)
- Exam 2 - (not proctored)
- Exam 3 - (not proctored )
- Exam 4 - Tuesday, August 6 - Friday, August 9 - PROCTORED

Most proctors and testing centers will require:

- A photo ID that is not expired.
- That you be on time for your appointment, or they may ask you to reschedule.
- That you provide your own calculator (not a cell phone), scrap paper, and pencil during the exam.

Talk to your proctor in advance about the 'best' way for you to provide solution paths of handwritten work for the proctored exam. If you want to load handwritten solution paths for the "Show Work" portions, make sure to ask your proctor if they are willing to supervise the use of a phone or digital inking device during the proctored exam. As an alternative, you can prearrange for your proctor to scan and email your "Show Work" to neewilso@iu.edu after the exam is completed.

**Email your Instructor for the Proctor Agreement Form.**

Email the your instructor, Neena Wilson, with Testing Details:
Once you have found a proctor in your region, be sure to send the Proctor Agreement form to your Instructor who will work with the IUE Department of Mathematics for approval. Once approved, you will be able to use the approved proctor for proctored items in this course. Please allow 12-24 hours for all proctoring communications.

Remember to send your testing day/time to your instructor through Canvas messages or using the email below.
