Faculty Request for Proctored Tests

The Testing Center at Savannah State University works collaboratively with faculty in providing professional test proctoring services to students enrolled in fully online courses.

The Testing Center at Savannah State University works collaboratively with faculty in providing professional test proctoring services to students enrolled in fully online courses. The use of proctoring services is to ensure the integrity and security of exams in a secure environment. Savannah State University’s Testing Office is an NCTA Certified Test Center, a member of the National College Testing Association (NCTA) and the Georgia College Testing Association (GCTA) and adheres to its professional standards. Faculty and students utilizing the Testing Center must review and adhere to the SSU Test Center Rules and academic policies governed by the University. The Testing Center does not proctor exams for traditional (or hybrid) face-to-face classes.

SSU faculty who wish to utilize SSU Testing Center’s proctoring services must enroll in the Online Professor Portal. This online system is used to submit pertinent information and materials for a successful test session: class number/title, class roster, testing windows/deadlines, prohibited and allowed items, maximum time allowed, specific test instructions, etc.
Therefore, it is important that all information for test proctoring be submitted in a timely manner at the beginning of each semester. Once all information is received, the Testing Center will update information in the online student registration system for timely test scheduling/registration by students.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All pertinent information must be submitted in the online Professor Portal as per the chart below. The testing window should be set firm to prevent confusion, frustration and unnecessary test scheduling conflicts.
