HCC Online In-Person Exam Proctoring Requirements
A HCC Online course could require a student to take one or more proctored assessments, therefore testing must be completed in a monitored environment by an approved individual or facility.
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 personal and course information to the HCC Online Proctor Agreement Form before sending the form to the anticipated proctor for completion. The proctor will then complete, sign, and submit the HCC Online Proctor Agreement Form, along with verifcation 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.
