On Campus Testing:
If you can travel to the Dudley Campus you may take your exam in the Nichols Testing Center. Please click on the Testing Center link to make an appointment.
Off Campus Testing:
If you cannot travel to the Dudley campus because you live outside of the area, you will need to locate a proctor for your examination.
- A proctor must be from a certified testing facility:
a staff member at a testing center at a college or university
The National College Testing Association (http://www.ncta-testing.org/)
Other commercial testing centers like Sylvan Learning Centers
Military Base Education Office (certified testing centers)
Public libraries often are a certified testing center.- Proctors may not be a family member, employer, or someone with whom the student works.
- Disabled and other students who have extenuating circumstances which prevent them from going to a testing center should suggest an alternative proctor, preferably an educator.
- Requests for proctored exams and proctors must be approved by Nichols College. Nichols College reserves the right to reject requests for proctors for any reason. To have a proctor approved, submit a Proctor Request Form to the Nichols Online Program as soon as possible.
- All proctors must send a verification statement, as described on the Proctor Request Form, on their company letterhead.
- Once a proctor has been approved the exam information will be sent directly to the proctor. For denied requests, a Nichols College staff member will contact the student. If the proctor charges a fee, payment is the student's responsibility.
Requirements:
You must bring a Photo ID with you to take your test. The testing center staff/Proctor will NOT administer an exam without proper photo identification.
