Distance Education instructors may require that students secure a proctor to oversee the performance of certain assignments and examinations.  As soon as students receive their course materials, they should read the course syllabi and course schedule carefully to determine if and when proctors will be required.  Students should identify one of the VU staff options as an appropriate proctor, complete the proctor approval form and forward it to the instructor as soon as possible.  The proctor may not be related to the student, nor live at the same residence.

A webcam is required for virtual test proctoring for students not in the local area of Vincennes campus.
