Exams and Proctoring

Exam Proctoring

In keeping with WASC guidelines, and in order to protect students' privacy and the integrity of the testing process, Cerro Coso Community College has implemented the following procedure:

Proctored exams are required for select online courses.

You must submit a proctor using a Proctor Submission Form within the first two weeks of the semester or risk not being able to take exams.

Proctoring is available free of charge at any Cerro Coso Community College (CCCC) campus for our distance learning courses. Students should schedule proctored exams by contacting the Learning Assistance Center at the nearest CCCC facility. Students residing within 30 miles of a Cerro Coso campus must use a proctor at that campus. When you schedule with one of our pre-approved testing centers, additional fees may apply. Family, friends, co-workers, and students are not allowed to proctor. No exams may be given in a private residence.

Proctoring hours at the IWV campus are Monday - Thursday 11:00am - 4:00pm and 5:00pm - 9:00pm. Contact Juli Maikai at the IWV Learning Assistance Center at (760) 384-6161 to schedule appointments. Other campuses' hours vary.

• It is the student's responsibility to secure a proctor at the beginning of the semester from our approved list of proctors, including those at a CCCC campus. Students should utilize the same proctor for the duration of the course. Use this form to submit a proctor.
• Choose a proctor from our pre-approved proctors list. If you are unable to locate a proctor near you from our list, you may contact the nearest college, university, or library for an available proctor. You will need to submit the proctor's place of employment, work phone number, and work email. The proctor must have an institutional email address. No Gmail, AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. email accounts will be accepted.
• Exam proctoring is by appointment. After your proctor is confirmed, you are free to schedule an appointment with your proctor for your exam. Students must bring a picture ID to the exam, and will be asked to turn off electronic equipment with the exception of approved calculators.
• Proctoring of exams for other institutions is available as well. There is a $25.00 fee. Please contact Sherri Windish at the IWV Learning Assistance Center at (760) 384-6161 to schedule exams for other institutions.

IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK PROCTOR'S HOURS OF AVAILABILITY AND FEES BEFORE SUBMITTING THE PROCTOR REQUEST.
