Distance Education students are required to take at least one proctored exam in order to verify student identity. Some courses require multiple proctored exams. Although we make every effort to accommodate distance education students with low-cost or no-cost test proctoring services, students who are unable to take exams using provided methods will be responsible for any charges incurred with remote test proctor sites/services and will pay any required fees directly to these sites. Students are also required to have a computer with webcam/microphone and a high-speed Internet connection and will be responsible for related charges. Please contact the NWSCC Distance Education Office at 256.331.5395 if you need assistance or have questions about using a remote proctor.
