Test Proctoring Services For Other Institutions

 

The ARC Assessment Center provides fee-based test proctoring services for tests outside of our college.  We only offer paper-pencil exams and internet-based exams for which we do not need to install additional software. No laptops or e-Books are allowed. We have limited proctoring times available. We do not test evenings or weekends. All testing is by appointment only. Please check below for testing procedures, contact information and prices.

 TESTING PROCEDURES

 

 Please note the following important information:

  1. Testing times are limited and are by appointment only. There will be no testing on a “walk-in” basis. 
  2. Students should contact the Assessment Center to determine the types of proctoring services available, to confirm costs, and to schedule an appointment. (See contact info, below.)
  3. After initial contact is made, tests should be mailed to the ARC Assessment Center from the test administrator (with contact information) either via the US mail or via email from an EDU address. We will not accept testing materials hand-carried by test-takers, even if the envelope’s seal appears to be intact. 
  4. Once the test and all relevant testing information are received, ARC Assessment staff will contact the student to schedule the proctoring session and to arrange payment. 
  5. Test-takers must bring a valid photo ID: California ID or Driver’s license, US military ID or passport. (For use of other ID, please check with the ARC Assessment Center staff.)
  6. Test-takers needing accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) should contact the ARC Assessment Center as early as possible to discuss your situation.
  7. All fees must be paid in advance of testing. Students who have appointments should arrive 30 minutes before their appointment to pick up their fee statement at the ARC Assessment Center, pay at our Business Services Office and then return to test.
  8. If tests are to be returned via US mail, a postage-paid return envelope must be provided to the ARC Assessment Center before testing begins.
  9. Directions to ARC and a campus map are available online: http://www.arc.losrios.edu/About_ARC/Find_Map.htm
  10. Parking is $1 per day in ARC Student Parking Lots A, B, C or D.
  11. No refunds. Re-scheduling may be done no less than four business days before the scheduled test.

 PRICES FOR EXAMS

The price for proctoring services is $25 per hour, with one hour minimum. Prices are then pro-rated in 30-minute increments.   Fees are based on the amount of time your instructor or testing center allows, not on the time you actually take.

 

NEW!

 

TEST CANCELLATION/RE-SCHEDULING FEE. Effective February 1, 2011, we have implemented a test cancellation/re-scheduling fee. Any student who does not show up for a scheduled exam, or who cancels and/or re-schedules the exam with less than 3 working days notice, may be subject to a $15 cancellation/re-scheduling fee. The fee will be due on the day of the next scheduled exam.
