Proctors

Some of the courses offered through the Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning include examinations that must be taken under the supervision of proctors approved by our office. Examinations can be administered on campus in Urbana-Champaign, at the U of I Chicago campus, or off-campus in your local area. It is your responsibility to arrange for an approved proctor to supervise any off-campus examinations.

Selecting a proctor

Guidelines for selecting proctors are listed in your online course materials. It is your responsibility to arrange for an approved proctor to supervise any off-campus examinations. Once you have registered, you will be given instructions on how to arrange a proctor by your instructor.

Approved proctored examination locations and/or proctors include the following:

  • Online through ProctorU (available for some courses)
  • University of Illinois Testing Offices (at Urbana-Champaign and Chicago)
  • Superintendent, principal, or guidance counselor of an education service region, school, or district, either public or parochial
  • Head librarian of a major academic or public library
  • Dean, academic department head, professor, extension or correspondence administrator, registrar, or official testing service of an accredited university or college
  • Education officer (Armed Service personnel only)
  • Corporate education director
  • Proctors for high school students may be the high school principal, full-time teacher, librarian, or guidance counselor. Students living outside the United States may select a proctor whose position is equivalent to one of those listed above or an administrative official of a U.S. embassy or consulate. Proctors cannot be related to the student.
