Information for Students
Lane's Online Testing Team can help students locate approved off-campus, live proctors when necessary.
Most online courses do not require proctored exams. A few online courses may be designated as "online with in-person testing (OT)" and require all exams be taken with a live proctor. Please check your syllabus or contact your instructor to determine how you will be taking exams.
- You do not need to find a proctor if you are directed to take exams on the main campus or other campus location.
- If you wish to take your exam at the LCC Cottage Grove or Florence center, please:
- contact the center (to find out if they are currently operating) and make an appointment to test
- contact your instructor and ask if the exam can be made available at the center
If you:
- have verified with your instructor/syllabus that you need to take a proctored exam, and
- live outside of Lane County
Please send an email to: online@lanecc.edu for further information, and we can assist with finding a proctor or approving one you've located.
Only an instructor can give permission to take an exam somewhere other than Lane. In addition, instructors are the only ones who can provide permission to take exams with a remote or virtual proctor in very rare cases. If you have approved accommodations through Lane's Center for Accessible Resources, work through CAR to find an appropriate testing situation.
Most proctors outside of Lane's campus will charge a fee per exam. Students are responsible for paying the fee and working with remote proctor scheduling systems and requirements.
Information for Faculty
Students who need to take a proctored exam outside of the Eugene area can reach out to our Online Testing Area for assistance with locating reputable proctors in their area. This is an optional contact; faculty may approve any testing situation that meets their needs.
Once we receive a request from a student to approve a proctor, we:
- Contact the proctor to confirm they can meet our requirements for proctoring (ID verification, live proctoring, security of test materials, etc.)
- Contact the instructor to share the request and the information about a proctor we've confirmed
Instructors are responsible for sending exam materials and instructions to the proctors directly.
