Students that are taking an online Santa Ana College MATH course can request to do offsite proctoring, meaning they can not come to test at Santa Ana College, due to the following reasons:
- The student is unable to come to the Santa Ana College campus to take a required proctored exam, and;
- The student lives or works more than 50 miles from the Santa Ana Campus. (This includes military students, and students out of state and out of the country.)
The student can request this option with their professor and complete the SANTA ANA COLLEGE ONLINE COURSE TEST PROCTORING FORM.
The Assessment Center is only responsible for verifying the Offsite Proctoring Location. The form must be submitted to the Assessment Center 2 weeks before the expected test date. The Assessment Center will notify the student and professor once the Proctor/Proctoring location have been verified. All following communication will be between the Proctor, Professor, and Student.
