A proctored test is a test that is administered in a secure environment under the direct supervision of an approved professional (proctor). Your teacher will determine which tests require a proctor and which proctors are approved.
Proctors are individuals whose responsibility is to ensure academic integrity for all exams administered for Northland and other MnSCU & non MnSCU campuses through careful test administration and monitoring.
Proctors have unbiased relationships with students to ensure honesty and security of all exams.
Instructors typically ask students to identify and submit proctor information. Students utilizing NCTC as proctors would either submit NCTC EGF Proctors or NCTC TRF Proctors as the staff are all recognized as acceptable proctors and testing environments.

Contact your instructor to request a change in proctor (subject to Instructor Policy). If granted, contact an alternative proctor for approval by your instructor. Your instructor will then ensure that the new proctor location has the pertinent testing materials. This process must be completed well in advance of test due dates.
A proctor is a non-relative, family friend, counselor, etc. Northland College proctors are qualified and may be selected as a credible proctor site and staff.
Instructors typically note on the course syllabus the length allowed for each exam. Schedule your appointments according to that time amount. Exams that take longer than the scheduled time may be asked to stop to allow scheduled testers to complete their exams on time.
Students running late may have the option to test providing they can complete the exam within the scheduled time. Students will need to reschedule possibly within the same date pending availability.
If the password is not working, check the password information and make sure you are typing it correctly. Also check that the student has accessed the correct test. If it still will not work, contact the instructor.
**NOTE: Proctors do not call or email instructors during this time; students will be responsible for contacting the instructors.
At the end of each semester, the Testing Center will shred any remaining exam materials not completed unless asked to do differently by the instructor prior.
Each campus testing area has lockers where students are required to turn off all electronic devices and store in the lockers along with purses/backbacks/books etc.
Each session is monitored via video/audio and are recorded in the event of a review needed.
Proctors conduct a random walk-through through the appointments and maintain a No Talking testing atmosphere.
