Non-proctored Examinations:
Some instructors allow their students to take
unsupervised exams. This enables you to take the exam at
a location and time that is convenient for you within
the bounds of the specified due date. In the event that
an unsupervised exam is allowed, students are expected
to conduct themselves in accordance with the HONOR

program office in NP 304
with your photo ID. We will release your examination

Education and e-Learning program office to pick up your examination, e-mail
(dislrn@sccd.ctc.edu)

two weeks before the due date of the exam. Please
include your mailing information; we are unable to
e-mail examinations to students.

your time carefully so that you can complete and
mail it by the indicated deadline.

without charge. However, any charge will be the
responsibility of the student. The necessary steps for
taking a proctored exam are listed below:
- E-mail your proctor information to the Distance
Education and e-Learning program at
dislrn@sccd.ctc.edu . Include the name, title,
phone number, and address of your proctor.

as the request is received and approved.

fifteen minutes before the hour set for the
examination. Remember to bring pencil or pen and any
other supplies that may be necessary.
- Upon completing the exam, the proctor will
return your exam to the DL Office.
Q. If I am unable to complete the course by the end of the

the Distance Education and e-Learning program office at least ONE WEEK before
