Proctoring Services
As a member of the Consortium of College Testing Centers (CCTC), BPCC’s Testing Center provides proctoring services for non-BPCC students according to the standards set by the National College Testing Association. We monitor testers by manual observation and through multi-camera Audio/Visual recording. Let us know if you need the following:
- Proctoring for distance education exam
- Proctoring for professional licensure and certification exams for individuals or groups
- Off-campus proctoring for groups
Appointments are necessary. Students are responsible for following all instructions given by their instructor and by the BPCC’s Testing Center. A non-refundable proctor fee payable to BPCC is charged depending on the length of the proctored exam. The cost of a two-hour exam is $30. To ensure that BPCC’s Testing Center can deliver your exam within your testing window, contact the Testing Center as soon as you know that you need to schedule a proctoring appointment and discuss your proctoring needs. To ensure that your exam has arrived, contact the Testing Center at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment to confirm that your exam has arrived.
