Proctored Exams for Distance Education Students
By Winnie Cooke
Teaching Center
Do any of your distance education students need to take proctored exams off campus? If so, the Consortium of College Testing Centers (CCTC) may be of assistance.
“The CCTC is a free referral service provided by the National College Testing Association (NCTA) to facilitate distance learning. The purpose of the CCTC is to make test administration services available to students at educational institutions away from their campuses. These services are provided in traditional paper-pencil formats as well as by on-line, web-based servers at some sites. A test administration site does not have to provide web-based examinations in order to participate in the Consortium. All participating institutions must be NCTA members in good standing, and all participating institutions are expected to adhere to the CCTC guidelines.” *
Currently, 235 institutions in the USA and Canada (including the University of Florida) are members of the consortium. While the referral service is free, there typically is a proctoring fee charged to the student by the consortium member.
*For additional information and to find a consortium participant, you may visit the NCTA Web site.
