Updates for Proctor Testing

The proctor labs at New Albany and Corinth closed at 11:30 AM on Thursday, March 19. The Booneville lab was open until Friday, March 20 at noon. Our testing centers have closed and this email sent on Friday was to help instructors begin setting up proctored exams in Canvas to transition to online proctored exams.

Student guides and information have been posted on the faculty resource center and NEMCC student site. I will attach and provide details here too. Next items to be sent to you is what do I do after exams are completed as an instructor. There will be follow-steps to take in each of your courses. Below and attached are instructor setup guides and student guides.

Online Proctoring for Students

We will move all proctoring requirements to online proctoring. Most instructors will be using Respondus Monitor. There will be some exceptions for those classes that do not work with this system, so review your course guidelines and instructor communication. Use this guide and video links to learn more about using Respondus Monitor for online proctor requirements.
