What are proctored exams?
Proctored exams are tests where students are monitored in some way while taking the
exam. Traditionally, proctored exams are done under direct supervision of the instructor
or in a testing center but we know those options are not always feasible or practical
for our online students.
You have a couple of options when deciding how you would like your ULM Online exams
proctored.
1. Use the virtual proctoring service, ProctorU.
ProctorU proctoring will cost $19.75/120 minute-exam. As a student enrolled in a ULM
Online math course, you will have to incur this expense for your midterm exam and
your final exam. Proctoring appointments should be made at least 72 hours in advance
of your proctoring time. If you do not schedule your exam 72 hours prior to taking
your exam you will be subject to late fees determined by ProctorU.
2. Schedule your own proctoring session through an approved testing center (approval and schedule are handled by Ida Gaines
Wilson, gaines@ulm.edu.
Should you choose option 2, an acceptable proctor is someone who meets one of the following criteria:
- Any regionally accredited 2 or 4 year institution of higher education employee in
testing services or the institution’s library
- Public library administrator
- Military personnel may take examinations under the supervision of a commissioned officer
Co-workers, personal friends, relatives, tutors, neighbors, personal advisors, (anyone
with a potential conflict of interest) are not permissible. Your proctor must have
a legitimate institutional, military, or business email address and office phone number.
SACS requires students be informed of any fees associated with the verification of
student identity, such as proctoring fees or the purchase of a webcam.
Students enrolled in onnline math or medical laboratory science courses will be required
to schedule two proctored exams during the course in which they enrolled. Students
may incur a fee depending on the proctoring method selected.
