External Proctored Testing

What is an External Proctored Test?

An external proctored test is an in-person test that is administered by a proctor. A proctor is a person who will supervise you while you are taking your exam to ensure academic integrity.

We proctor exams for distance learning students attending other colleges and universities, as well as business and community-related exams. We are an active member of the National College Testing Association.

We offer external proctoring services, available in person by appointment only. External Proctored testing is available at GCC Main and GCC North
