Proctoring Event (Requirement for ONLINE Students only)
PROCTORED EVENT REQUIREMENT: In order to validate student identity for all online courses, students enrolled in online courses are required to complete at least one proctored event (a major exam, assignment, or presentation, etc.) per online course on campus. Instructors have the prerogative to offer more than one proctored event. Students must attend one of the scheduled proctored sessions and will need to make arrangements with work, childcare, etc. The event will count a minimum of 20% of the course grade, and will be reflected as such on the course syllabus. Proctored events should be completed after the 65% point of the semester.
The proctored event will be administered on separate days—once on the Vidalia campus and once on the Swainsboro campus. Students must attend one of the proctored sessions as scheduled on the Lesson Plan/Course Calendar. The event will be monitored by the instructor or by an approved proctor.
Students who do not complete the proctored event as scheduled must submit a valid documented excuse within three business days after the scheduled event. If the excuse is approved by the instructor of the course, students must make arrangements with the instructor to makeup/reschedule the missed event. The penalty and makeup instructions will be at the instructor's discretion
Students who do not complete the proctored event on the scheduled date and do not present a valid documented excuse within three business days of the scheduled event will be given a zero for the proctored event.
Please refer to the Proctored Event Requirement in your course syllabus, Southeastern Technical College Catalog and Handbook, the online course links in Blackboard, and the Online Course Orientation for more information.
The required proctored event dates and times for your class will be located on your syllabus.
