Faculty teaching online classes have the option of using the Dalton State Testing Center to proctor a midterm and final exam. Due to seating availability and overlapping exam windows, the Testing Center will only proctor two exams—a midterm and final—for each online course per semester, though no in-person proctored exams are required by the Dalton State Online Education program.
Instructors teaching hybrid courses are not encouraged to use the Testing Center for their exams but are encouraged to use their classroom or Respondus for proctoring, if possible. Online instructors requiring the Testing Center to proctor their exams should contact the Testing Center to request dates at least two weeks before the start of the online course to confirm availability. The final day to request proctored exams in the Testing Center is the last day of the first week of the online course.
Exams and any instructions, passwords, or supplementary material must be submitted to the Testing Center via the Faculty Proctoring Form no later than 24 hours prior to the exam window. The Testing Center will not proctor exams sent via email. Online students must schedule an appointment for their proctored midterms and finals with the Testing Center at least 24 hours prior to their desired date and time. Students can schedule with the Testing Center by visiting the Testing Center’s homepage and clicking the “Schedule an Exam” link.
Faculty should be aware that if they require in-person proctoring at a testing center that some students may not live in the Dalton region. Arrangements must be made to ensure the students have access to a nearby testing center, and faculty must coordinate with a representative from that testing center to ensure delivery and receipt of their exams.
