Exam Information for Faculty
Using Testing Services for Proctored Exams
Before the Semester
If you choose to use Testing Services to proctor your exams, please reply to our email survey we send before the semester begins. If you do not see an email asking about assessments proctoring, please send email to uaf-testing@alaska.edu.
During the Semester
Share your exam with us no later than seven (7) days before the opening date of your exam using the Proctored Exam Submission Form linked below. This allows us to prepare and send materials to proctors outside of Fairbanks and Alaska.
Exceptions
We do not allow students to take anything into the exam room except the pencil and paper we provide. However, faculty can specify exceptions (e.g., notes allowed) on our Proctored Exam Submission Form.
Grading
When your students take an exam with us, we scan the completed materials into a Google Drive folder we share with you.
Make-up Exams
Make-up exams are for eCampus-supported courses only. Instructors need to send approval ahead of time with the date range that a student can take an exam.
Faculty Exam Portal
UAF eCampus Testing Services utilizes an online portal to submit exams for proctoring services.
Virtual Proctoring
We encourage the use of Honorlock for virtual proctoring in computer-based Canvas exams. Honorlock integrates seamlessly with Canvas, providing a streamlined experience for students. It offers a more efficient and secure solution compared to in-person proctoring, where consistently viewing each student’s screen is not possible. Many students prefer taking exams remotely, and Honorlock has proven more effective in maintaining academic integrity than our previous vendor.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Honorlock is only for online exams.
- There is a $9 fee per exam for students, with a maximum of $18 per course per semester.
- It’s convenient, easy to use, and requires a stable internet connection.
- Instructors are responsible for setting up Honorlock in their online courses. eCampus does not set it up, make changes, or have access to your Honorlock setup.
Testing Center Rules and Procedures
- We support students by providing a quiet space to take their proctored exams.
- We do not allow cell phones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches or any personal electronic devices while a student takes an exam.
- Students are responsible for monitoring the time they’ve spent on an exam. We do track how much time students have used if the instructor has specified a time limit, but we do not warn students when they go over the allotted time for an exam.
- Students are not able to use their own pencil or pen. They will be required to use what we provide.
- Students should limit bringing additional belongings into the testing center. There are lockers available if needed, but they are small.
- We immediately notify the instructor if academic dishonesty is suspected.
