CIT PROCTOR POLICY

The proctor policy remains in place for all written exams that will be administered online and completed by the registrant at their location. While taking the exam, the registrant must have a proctor physically present (someone monitoring the exam that is not the test taker). Proctors must be registered and complete a Proctor Quiz at least 1 week before exam day. Please review the Proctoring Policy (located under Course and Exam Days - Online) and subsequent consequences for violating the policy.

If you plan to be a proctor for your location, registration and taking a proctor quiz is necessary for the next season starting July 1, 2024. Individuals needing to register as a proctor and take the proctor quiz can do so here.
Please review the Program Information page for full details on all policies.
If you have questions email the program office at profed@k-state.edu.
Dates and registration information are available on the Registration and Schedule page.
