Appendix 1
Protocol for arranging proctors for Proctored Final Exams & Procedures for conducting proctored exam

Extension Program Coordinators remind students that final exams must be taken in-person at an
authorized proctor location during the Learning Preparedness Assessment (LPA) call.
o Local students can arrange to take the final exam at the School of Public Health or UC Berkeley
Extension.
o Overseas students can take the exam at the U.S. embassy under the supervision of a consular
officer.
o Students should locate and secure a nearby testing center by the end of the second week of the
course.

Student provides proctor with the Proctor Application and asks the proctor to return the completed
application to the Extension Program Coordinator.
o Proctor returns application to Extension Program Coordinator via secure fax or as a scanned
document.
o Upon receipt of completed application, Extension Program Coordinator verifies proctor’s
location and email address.
o Extension Program Coordinator advises student of approval/denial of proctor.
 If approved, student is responsible for scheduling exam
 If denied, student must research alternate proctor and receive approval.

Extension Program Coordinator creates and updates proctor tracking spreadsheet for each course.
Information on spreadsheet includes:
o Course name / number
o Student name, phone # and email address
o Proctor name, address, phone # and email address
o Date of telephone and email confirmations
o Approval date
o Date exam sent to proctor
o Date completed exam received
o Date delivered to instructor

24 hours prior to exam date the Extension Program Coordinator sends the exam to the proctor along
with the Rules and Regulations document.
o Extension Program Coordinator confirms receipt of exam.
o Upon completion, the exam is sent to the Extension Program Coordinator via secure fax or
scanned email (refer to Rules document).
o Extension Program Coordinator delivers exam to instructor to grade.
If there is a charge for examination supervision, the student is responsible for the fee. Under no
circumstances can a family member or tutor serve as proctor, nor can the exam be sent to a home
address.
Our processes have been developed using the National Collegiate Testing Association (NCTA) guidelines for
proctoring. For more information on NCTA, go to http://www.ncta-testing.org/. For information on testing
standards, go to http://www.ncta-testing.org/resources/standards/standards.php.
