AY25 Academic Catalog/Handbook

Proctoring

In order to validate student identity for all online courses, students enrolled in online courses at OFTC are required to complete at least one proctored event per course (a major exam, assignment, or presentation). The event will be reflected as part of the grading scale on the course syllabus. Proctored events must be completed by the end of the official final exams period. Instructors will provide details regarding the proctored event(s) in their courses.

OFTC utilizes a remote proctoring service, Respondus Monitor, in addition to face-to-face proctoring with instructors. Students must present a photo ID to participate in any proctored event, whether remotely using Respondus Monitor or on campus with their instructor. Students will need access to a laptop with a camera or to a webcam to complete their proctored event(s) via Respondus Monitor. Respondus Monitor instructions can be found on the college’s website as well as from instructors.

Students arranging proctoring at a non-OFTC site must take the event during the same time frame established by the instructor for other class members. The site and the proctor must meet OFTC’s requirements.

Students in online classes who do not complete the proctored event(s) will receive an “F” for the course.
