Proctored Exams

A proctored exam is an exam that is supervised by an approved, neutral person (a proctor) who ensures the identity of the test taker and the integrity of the test-taking environment. Some RPCC instructors require proctored testing for online course exams and make-up exams.

Students can take proctored exams by working with their instructor to arrange an appointment or by using online proctoring through Honorlock (a paid service).

Students with accommodations can contact TRIO at 225-743-8500 for information about in-person proctoring.

Instructions for taking exams will be provided by your instructor.
