If you have any questions or problems concerning the exams, please contact us at mempm@odu.edu.
- Students will contact you to arrange a time and location to take each test that requires proctoring. The student is responsible for filling out their information on the Proctor Request form, and providing it to you for your information and signature. The student will submit the form to ¹ÏÉñÍø. We will email the exams after we receive the Proctor Request Form, and they will be sent to you, the proctor, at the address provided on the form.

- Provide instructions to the student before distribution of test materials.
- Request photo identification from the student.
- After the student has begun, look at him/her regularly to ensure that he/she is following the instructor's procedures (e.g., if the exam is open book/notes, students may use those items; if there is to be no use of books/notes, students should have only the exam on their desks; etc.).
- Please be respectful of the student's need for quiet while taking the exam, and minimize disturbances to the maximum extent possible.
- When students at ¹ÏÉñÍø enroll in coursework, they are bound by an honor pledge to "refrain from any form or academic dishonesty or deception, such as cheating or plagiarism." If you suspect that a student is in violation of this code, contact ¹ÏÉñÍø at mempm@odu.edu. At that point, procedures established for Honor Code violations will be followed.
- At the end of the exam period, collect all materials that are to be returned for grading. Make a copy for your files, in the event they are lost in the mail. Do not make a copy for the student. Place all exam materials and the student survey (if applicable) in the mailing envelope provided by the student, and mail as soon as possible to ¹ÏÉñÍø.
