Proctoring and Exam Information
 

Students enrolled in online math summer courses will be required to take proctored exams. Students must submit the proctor form for approval at least one week before the first exam. The student must select a proctor to administer, supervise and to authenticate that exams were taken by the student according to guidelines established by Johns Hopkins University. All proctors will be approved by the Department of Mathematics. If you do not have an approved proctor, you will not receive credit for your exams. The Johns Hopkins University Mathematics Department is also equipped to proctor exams for the students. Please fill out the proctor form and list Johns Hopkins University as the proctor to take exams on campus. Exams given on campus will be scheduled between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday-Saturday, and the dates will be in the course syllabus.

Acceptable Proctors

An exam proctor will receive Test Verification Instructions with each exam, will supervise the exam, and authenticate that the exam was taken by the student registered for the course. They will return the Test Verification Form and completed exam to the Department of Mathematics.

You must choose a person from the following list to act as proctor:

  • Principal or Superintendent of Educational Service Region, School, or District, either Public or Parochial
  • Dean, Academic Department Head, Extension or Correspondence Administrator, Registrar, or Official Testing Service of an Accredited University or College
  • Education Officer (Armed Services Personnel Only)
  • Full-Time High School or College Instructor or Librarian
  • Corporate education director
  • Online course instructor

Your proctor cannot be related to you in any way or be chiefly a friend (it is not necessary that you know your proctor—many students meet their proctor for the first time when they approach them about proctoring). Please note that any compensation to the proctor is strictly between students and the proctor.  The Johns Hopkins University Mathematics program does not compensate proctors.
