Proctored Exams

Proctored Assessment Requirement

Each online course requires one proctored assessment (a proctored exam for most courses or a proctored speech for Communications courses). Math courses may require more than one proctored exam. Proctored assessments may be administered at any Ozarks Technical Community College (OTC) location or at an approved off-campus location as requested by the student via the Off-Campus Proctored Exam Request form or Off-Campus Proctored Speech Request form. All off-campus locations must be in accordance with the OTC proctoring specifications and must be pre-approved by the course instructor for appropriateness. If there are any concerns, the instructor will consult OTC Online. For more information, please contact OTC Online at 417-447-8200 or online@otc.edu.
