What is the Testing Center and how do I schedule virtual proctoring?

The Learning Commons houses the Testing Center for the College which provides testing for classes/courses, special testing for academic programs, continuing education programs, HiSET, GED, Pearson VUE, TEAS, CASAS, TABE, HCI, and WorkKeys testing for the Career Readiness Certificate. Students who have been instructed to test in the Testing Center should schedule an appointment at least 24 hours in advance by visiting the Learning Commons Assessment Support web page (opens in a new window). When scheduling testing/assessment appointments, it is recommended to review the student testing guidelines. 

For more information, please come by to see us or visit our Learning Commons website (opens in new window).

Share details about virtual proctoring with your students

   Consider including the example language below in your syllabus and early in the semester with your students:


This course uses virtual test proctoring! Students may take exams online using a tool called SmarterProctoring available inside of Moodle.

 

In order to use SmarterProctoring you will need to have access to:

  • A stable internet connection
  • A laptop or PC with an up-to-date Chrome web browser. Tablets and mobile devices will not connect to SmarterProctoring online. 
  • A quiet, distraction free testing environment
  • A web camera and microphone
  • Depending on your course, you may also need a photo ID


If you do not have access to these, you may also choose to schedule your test with the Testing Center on the Davidson Davie campus or borrow a laptop as needed from the laptop kiosk located in the Learning Commons (Love Building, Davidson campus).
