Testing Services for Online Students

Off-campus students often take exams administered by their professors at their off-campus locations. The Newnan Center also provides test proctoring on site. Off-campus and distance students can also use approved proctoring sites at other university libraries. In addition, exams and quizzes are administered via CourseDen (GeorgiaVIEW) either online at a location convenient to the student or a designated computer lab. Some students who take their CourseDen (GeorgiaVIEW) exams in a computer lab use Securexam as an additional means of security and integrity.

Instructors who teach courses that are mostly online have the option of using UWG Distance Education Department 's Exam Proctoring Services. Students in most states can schedule their tests at a center convenient to them. In certain states, however,secure proctoring at home may be available through ProctorU (proctor university). The DE Testing Coordinator provides the proctor with the password or facilitates ProctorU access. The proctors confirm the identity of the student, enter the password through the course management, maintain watch over the student, and ensure exam integrity. The DE Testing Coordinator locates proctors for students who are located more than 100 miles away from an approved site, in approved states. Through funds raised through online course tuition, UWG was able to expand and update its Carrollton Campus Testing Center site, as well as open a new site at the off-campus Newnan site. Proctored testing services for online eCore students are administered through UWG's central eCore office: http://ecore.usg.edu/exams/
