The University of Atlanta requires proctors to monitor
final exams for all degree programs. As a student, it is
your responsibility to select an individual who will be
available to proctor your final exams. Once this person
is approved, he/she will be your designated proctor for
the duration of your degree program. Your proctor will be
asked to complete and submit a Proctor
Application and Agreement. This information will
be maintained by the University, as part of the academic
file, for the duration of your enrollment. In the event
you need to change proctors during the enrollment period,
a new Proctor Application and Agreement should be submitted
to University administration.
How do I select a Proctor?
Acceptable proctors include school teachers and principals,
librarians, clergy members, human resources officers and
workplace supervisors. A proctor should hold a position
of integrity. Family members or friends cannot act as proctors.
Students must select a trusted individual who will be available
to proctor exams as needed by the students' own course schedule.
This individual should be able to meet (at a minimum) the
following guidelines:
- The Proctor should have access to internet and email in order to access
messages and/or files from the University
- The Proctor should live in close proximity to the student and be able to
monitor the exam (without interruption) in an area which is free from distraction.
The exam site and time should be decided by the student and the Proctor in
order to ensure that there will be ample opportunity for successful completion
of the exam.
- The Proctor must be comfortable in a position of authority and be able
to ensure that the integrity of the examination process is maintained.
