Proctor Information and Procedures

Students choosing to use a proctor* are responsible for locating the proctor, scheduling appointments for tests, reimbursing the proctor for mailing expenses, and taking tests in the time allotted by class instructors. Once a qualifying proctor has been found, the student and proctor must complete Sinclair's Proctor Agreement Form.
