Proctoring Services
NMJC provides several proctoring services for our online students. 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. Your instructors may require some of your online course exams to be proctored. If so, your instructor should inform you of the service used in your course, where to download them, and any fees that may come with using the service.
