Proctored Testing

Proctored testing may be required in some online and blended courses. Math, science and nursing courses often require proctored tests.

A suitable proctored environment is a faculty-approved environment directly monitored by an instructor, testing center administrator or other learning provider in a physical or online setting. While proctors must be approved by the instructor, suitable proctors may include Tri-C Testing Centers, other accredited college or university testing centers, Honorlock and military education centers. If the testing center charges a fee, it is the student’s responsibility to pay that fee.

Tri-C uses Honorlock to provide online proctoring for remote exams. Honorlock is a browser-based service that allows students to complete exams within the College’s learning management system without scheduling an appointment.

As part of the testing process, students may be required to use a webcam and microphone, verify their identity with a photo ID, and complete a room scan of their testing environment before beginning the exam. Exam sessions are recorded, and activity is monitored using a combination of automated technology and live proctors to support academic integrity.

Honorlock proctors are available during exams and may communicate with students if assistance is needed or if potential issues are detected. Live support is available throughout the testing session.
