To receive academic credit for Distance Education and e-Learning program courses, students are required to take non-proctored mid-term and proctored final exams, unless otherwise specified. All assignments preceding the examinations must be submitted before examinations can be scheduled.
Non-proctored Examinations:
Some instructors allow their students to take unsupervised exams. This enables you to take the exam at a location and time that is convenient for you within the bounds of the specified due date. In the event that an unsupervised exam is allowed, students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the HONOR SYSTEM. Exams that for non-proctored online courses will be administered via the internet.
Proctored Examinations:
A proctored exam is a supervised exam. Examinations may be taken at Seattle Central Community College or off campus via a proctor. The proctor may be;
- accredited school principal or administrator
- accredited school/college counselor
- certified librarian Note: The Seattle Public Library is unable to offer examination proctoring services.
- military educator (for military personnel)
- faculty or test administrator at a testing office of a accredited university or community college
The Distance Education and e-Learning program must approve all proctors. Relatives, no matter what their position, may not serve as a proctor. Proctors normally supervise examinations without charge. However, any charge will be the responsibility of the student. The necessary steps for taking a proctored exam are listed below:
- E-mail your proctor information to the Distance Education and e-Learning program at dislrn@sccd.ctc.edu. Include the name, title, phone number, and address of your proctor.
- The exam will be mailed to your proctor as soon as the request is received and approved.
- Plan to arrive at the testing location at least fifteen minutes before the hour set for the examination. Remember to bring pencil or pen and any other supplies that may be necessary.
- Upon completing the exam, the proctor will return your exam to the Distance Education and e-Learning program office.
