ITV Class Proctoring

Testing Services offers proctoring in Victoria and Katy for faculty who teach ITV courses.

Testing Services' trained proctors strictly adhere to NCTA's proctoring guidelines and best practices.

Students must show the proctor a valid ID before testing; cannot be given extra time to test (if students show up late to the exam); will not bring cell phones or electronic communication devices in the testing room. Students who do will be asked to silence the device immediately and the incident will be reported to instructors.

To request a proctor for an ITV course or large class testing session in Victoria or Katy, please complete the online form and submit it at least three (3) weeks before the exam date. During peak times (midterms and finals), flexibility on time and/or day of test may be required (see Testing Policies and Procedures below).

Testing Services staff will contact you within three (3) business days, either by email or by phone, regarding your request.

 

Testing Policies and Procedures

For Faculty:

  1. Requests for proctors for students with academic accommodations and makeup exams must be made at least seven (7) business days in advance of the test date. Proctors are not guaranteed for requests made six or fewer days before the date of the test, although every effort will be made to find a proctor.
  2. Requests for proctors for ITV classes must be made at least three (3) weeks in advance of the test date. Proctors are not guaranteed for requests less than three (3) weeks before the date of the test, although every effort will be made to find a proctor.
  3. Faculty must use either the Testing Referral Form or online form in order to request a proctor or testing appointment. Other types of requests will not be treated as official requests.
  4. Flexibility on time and/or day of the test may be required during peak times (midterms and finals).
  5. The Testing Center does not proctor regularly scheduled exams (including midterms or finals) unless they are ITV exams.

 

Prohibited Devices

Cell phones, watches, and other electronic communication or photographic devices are prohibited in testing rooms and should be stored in a locker at the testing center or in your vehicle. Possession or use of cell phones or other devices in the testing room may result in dismissal and the voiding of test score(s). If taking a standardized test (e.g., TExES/ExCET, TSIA2, or TCEQ), please read admission ticket and other registration materials carefully as they contain specific instructions about your appointment.

Note: Consult your admission ticket to learn the location of your exam.
