Barstow Community College Proctoring Guidelines

• Residents of the following cities must take their proctored exams at the Barstow Community College Computer Commons: Barstow, Hinkley, Yermo, Daggett and Newberry.

 
• Residents of Ft. Irwin must take their proctored exams at the Ft. Irwin Satellite location or the Barstow Community College Computer Commons.

 
• All other students must find individual proctors that meet the following guidelines:
  • All proctors must be librarians, military educational officers, college professors, professional proctors (such as our lab aides) or clergy.
  • The proctor must have a professional email address and phone. (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, excite, aol, netscape, earthlink, verizon, netzero etc. email accounts are not acceptable).
  • The email address must correspond to a school or business.
     
• All proctoring at Barstow Community College must be done by our designated proctors in the Computer Commons.
   
• Individual proctoring issues can be forwarded to either the instructor or the Instructional Technology Center staff at 760-252-2411 x7319 for resolution. As the Instructional Technology Center staff do not have the same authority as instructors, all proctoring issues resolved by the Instructional Technology Center staff will need to strictly follow the guidelines listed on this page. Proctors approved by the Instructional Technology Center staff must follow the guidelines listed on this page, and the proctor must be verifiable via the Internet.

 
• Instructors are responsible for sending out proctor letters.

 
• Individual cases will arise where special circumstances dictate an instructor has to use their professional judgment to determine if a student needs to use a proctor who does not follow the college guidelines. Instructors will follow the guidelines for off-campus proctors as closely as possible should this occur.
