<p>I’m trying to identify someone that would be a proctor for online courses. The university that I am taking them through recently tightened the proctoring requirements. Nobody at my place of employment (who meets the proper title requirements of HR, supervisor, or corporate librarian) is able to do this for me.</p>
<p>I’ve checked at local libraries and they no longer offer the service.</p>
<p>Local colleges do. However, my university e-mails a website that they have to fill out and electronically sign. It is a lengthy form with lots of rules and regulations.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any suggestions on who might be willing to fill out a form and agree to be an exam monitor? The most likely candidate is the exam proctoring service at a local college. I don’t know if they would be willing to sign the form.</p>
<p>Are you planning to pay the proctor? We did, when S took an online course from his own university. Some of my friends who were teachers volunteered to do it for free, but they were middle school teachers and HS or above was required. So a friend/acquaintance did it but expected to be paid.</p>
<p>There is annoying red-tape involved, so compensation is only fair. I can’t imagine someone won’t be willing if pay is involved.</p>
<p>If money is tight, perhaps you could barter something/offer to do a favor (make them a meal; babysit… whatever ), in exchange.</p>
<p>The problem is the rather intimidating on-line proctor verification form that needs to be filled out. I need someone who is available at my hours (evenings) that can fill that out and meet the criteria for who can be a proctor.</p>
<p>The local U had an on-line test center, and happily charged H $15/20 an hour to use their center and be proctored by their staff for tests for his BYU class.</p>
<p>BYU had a list of all the proctors that had been approved already – and they didn’t need to redo all the paperwork, so that made it easy. Could you ask his school what proctors have already been approved?</p>
<p>My daughter did hers at the testing center of the local college. She had to pay $20 per test, but the college testing center had no objections to doing the paperwork required by the distance learning program. (They are collecting a fee, after all.) I would assume this is all pretty routine for a college testing center. I doubt if they’d mind.</p>
<p>My daughter does it at our local college. However, she worked there for a short time and asked a faculty member that she knows and likes, and the faculty member is willing to do it.</p>

<p>Have you asked at the college yet? Since they offer it, maybe they are familiar with the red tape involved and it is not a deterrent.</p>
