OHIO Testing Services Exam Proctoring - Instructors

Description

OHIO Testing Services prioritizes exam supervision for Ohio University students who require proctoring for accommodated exams and for proctoring high-stakes exams for OHIO online courses.

Faculty members are responsible for organizing student testing within their own departments to ensure that all students' needs are efficiently met. OHIO Testing Services is available to assist if a student requires exam proctoring that cannot be arranged within the department.

Accommodated exam proctoring

  • Accommodated proctoring is a service provided for Ohio University students with testing accommodations approved through Student Accessibility Services.

Accommodation notification

  • Once a student has completed the registration process with Student Accessibility Services, it is the student’s responsibility to notify their instructors of their accommodation.
  • Faculty members are responsible for organizing student testing within their own departments to ensure that all students' needs are efficiently met.
  • OHIO Testing Services is available to assist if a student requires exam proctoring that cannot be arranged within the department.

It is important that you submit the accommodated proctoring exam request as soon as possible. Students scheduling accommodated exam proctoring may be required to do so up to 10 days before the exam date.

How to submit and review an exam in RegisterBlast

  • Faculty members are responsible for organizing student testing within their own departments to ensure that all students' needs are efficiently met. OHIO Testing Services is available to assist if a student requires exam proctoring that cannot be arranged within the department.

Follow the steps outlined for Submitting and reviewing a proctored exam (Instructors). Once submitted, exams will be available for students to begin scheduling immediately. Faculty should be familiar with all policies associated with the testing location.

  • Due to the limited capacity of the Ohio University testing centers,

    • Faculty should submit any proctoring requests for accommodated exams and high-stakes exams for OHIO online courses as soon as possible.
    • Students scheduling prioritized exam proctoring may be required to do so up to 10 days before the exam date.
    • Appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis and are very limited during peak times of mid-term and final exams.
    • Specific date and time restrictions on proctoring requests significantly limit our ability to schedule testing in the testing center. For the most flexibility, faculty are encouraged to provide a date window and no time restrictions to allow students more opportunities to register for their exams.

Alternate (off-campus) testing locations

When a student is unable to test at an OHIO Testing Services location, they will need to seek approval for an alternate proctor or an alternate testing center. Faculty will still submit the exam through RegisterBlast as outlined above. For more information, including a list of pre-approved testing locations, please reference the Schedule an off-campus testing appointment section of the OHIO Testing Services Exam Proctoring - Students page.
