Testing Center/ Community Proctoring

OSA staff must review proctoring instructions for each exam, prior to agreeing to serve as a proctor, and before you schedule a testing appointment. OSA staff can assist with scheduling an appointment and providing proctor information. As space and staffing resources are limited, we cannot guarantee our services until reviewing the proctoring instructions. Upon approval, the examinee will be responsible to communicate with their home institution regarding proctoring and arranging the delivery of testing materials.
