Proctored Exam Procedures

Please visit the LC Testing Center website for detailed information about proctoring services and policies for fully online, hybrid, and face-to-face courses. The LC Testing Center oversees all exam proctoring for LC courses.

Proctored Exam Options

Fully online, hybrid, and virtual remote course instructors can request to have exams proctored through the LC Testing Center. Exams proctored through the LC Testing Center are not required to utilize the Respondus LockDown Browser, but it is encouraged to add an extra layer of security during testing.
Fully online, hybrid, and virtual remote course instructors can use Respondus LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor to "proctor" exams without registering the exams through the LC Testing Center.
- Students must take the exams "at home," and cannot come to the LC Testing Center or other LC testing sites to take exams.
Fully online, hybrid, and virtual remote course instructors can use Respondus LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor AND also register the exams with the LC Testing Center.
- This gives students the option to test "at home" with RLDB and Monitor or schedule to take exams through the LC Testing Center.
Face-to-face course instructors can use Respondus LockDown Browser and/or Respondus Monitor for "at home" exams.
- Students must take exams "at home," and cannot come to the LC Testing Center or other LC testing sites to take exams.
