Proctored Testing
Proctored testing is required in all online courses. Be sure to check your Canvas course shell so that you will know which assessments are proctored. There is a mandatory Attendance Verification Quiz using Proctorio which requires a webcam and verification of your student ID.
Pensacola State College Test Centers
Pensacola State College has test centers on five campuses; Pensacola, Milton, Warrington, Century, and South Santa Rosa. The hours differ at each, so be sure to call and find out what the open hours are. It is the student’s responsibility to make an appointment well ahead of time as the slots fill up quickly, especially around heavier semester exam times like mid-term and final.
Proctorio
Proctorio is a remote proctoring solution designed to protect the integrity of course assessments. Proctorio runs as an extension in the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers and only works within the Canvas environment. You will need a webcam and microphone to use Proctorio, and you will need to use a computer (not a mobile device) to take your exam. Be prepared to show your student identification at the beginning of every proctored exam. If your exam requires Proctorio, directions to download and install the extension will be found in your course.
Proctorio upholds FERPA, COPPA, and GDPR compliance, and only runs while you are taking your exam. Your connection is encrypted end-to-end. After your exam ends, you may uninstall the extension. You will be reminded to reinstall the extension again before starting your next exam. After your exam session ends only your instructor will have access to your exam data.
