HCC Online Exam Proctoring Requirements
Online math courses require students to complete midterm and final exams in a monitored testing environment. Proctoring is available in-person or virtually.
Proctoring agreement forms are available in the Canvas classroom.
For assistance, contact:
onlineproctor@highlandcc.edu | 785-442-6170
In-Person Exam Proctoring:
The student is responsible for identifying a proctor who meets the required qualifications. If assistance is needed to locate a proctor, the student must communicate with the HCC Online office. Once a proctor is identified, the student will add their contact and course information to the In-Person Proctor Agreement Form before sending the form to the anticipated proctor for completion. The proctor will then complete, sign, and submit the In-Person Proctor Agreement Form, along with verification of their degree or license, by email to the HCC Online office at onlineproctor@highlandcc.edu. Providing false information is subject to HCC's policy for Academic Dishonesty.
Virtual Exam Proctoring:
Virtual proctoring is available using Honorlock. Students will complete the Agreement Form for Honorlock Virtual Proctoring, as well as watch the Honorlock Student Use video. Honorlock proctoring allows the student to test from their location, using a laptop or desktop computer and the Google Chrome Internet browser. During testing, students are monitored and recorded with video and audio. No testing appointment is required for virtual proctoring; once approved, testing is available 24/7 within the exam dates. A fee of $10.00 must be paid, to Honorlock, by the student, at the time of each exam. The Student Agreement Form for Honorlock Virtual Proctoring is returned to the HCC Online office at onlineproctor@highlandcc.edu. Providing false information is subject to HCC's policy for Academic Dishonesty.
