Current Students
Beginning of the Semester Steps

  1. How to Access Videos
    1. As an Online student, you will have access to your courses through Canvas. Once you have logged into Canvas, click on your course.  To view videos, click on the "Echo360" link on the left-hand side of your screen.  At this time, you will be able to access your videos by date of the recording. It may take a few hours after the end of the on-campus class to process and upload the video to your Canvas course page.
    2. Please Note: Your Canvas course section number may be different than the section number reported in your MyMav account. Course sections may be merged together on Canvas for ease of maintenance for the professor and staff.
  2. Email Instructor to introduce yourself.
  3. Choose a Testing Option (see instructions below).
  4. Be sure your computer web browser is up-to-date.
  5. Have access to a Printer & Scanner.

Testing

Engineering Online Student Requirements

***unless otherwise stated by your instructor***

  1. All exams ARE TO BE TAKEN WITHIN THREE DAYS of the on-campus class section.
  2. Exam arrangements are to be made BEFORE the exam is given and must have instructor permission.
  3. All online students using a testing center are REQUIRED to complete the Testing Center Approval Request form.

Testing Center Approval Request Form

The Testing Center Approval Request form needs only to be completed once per semester. 

  • This your communication to the instructor of your planned testing location so he/she can submit your exam and have it available at the testing center.
  • Click here to go directly to the Testing Center Approval Request form. The form is automatically submitted to the Engineering Online office when you click “Submit”.  Engineering Online will review and send the completed form to your instructor.

 

Testing Options

  1. On-Campus with the in-class students. (please obtain permission from your instructor)
  2. Off-Campus Testing Center (check with your local universities/community colleges, library testing centers, and public testing companies.)

Student's Step-by-Step Instructions for Registering and Taking an Exam

  1. Locate an approved testing center (see "Proctoring" below).
  2. Communicate with the testing center to be sure they will proctor/administer your exam and can accommodate you.
  3. Complete and submit the Testing Center Approval Request form. This form is the communication to your instructor of your planned testing location. Without this form, the instructor cannot make your test available to the center, and you will be turned away on test day. 
  4. No later than 24 hours before the exam date, reserve your seat directly with the selected testing center (not Engineering Online). This is your appointment with the testing center for them to proctor you. Without this appointment, the testing center will turn you away on test day.
  5. Pay any testing center fees. Fees are the student’s responsibility.

Upon completion of these steps, you are ready to sit for the exam.

Submit a new Testing Center Approval Request form should you need to change your testing center.

Students Located Outside of the United States

  1. Locate a testing center which also tests for professional exams such as the GRE and GMAT exams.

Proctoring

What is a proctor and why do I need one?

  • A proctor is a person who monitors students taking exams.
  • To ensure the integrity of the assessment process it is the responsibility of the proctor to see that students follow an instructor's guidelines for each exam.
  • Proctors must be unbiased individuals who, in general, have no personal association or affiliation with the student(s) they proctor.
  • No company employee (managers, co-workers, etc.) is allowed to act as a proctor.
  • Proctoring in a private residence or setting is NOT permissible.

I've never had a proctor before. Where should I start?

  • National College Testing Association is an association of testing centers that wish to have their services listed for students needing proctoring services.
  • http://www.ncta-testing.org
  • If you are not able to locate an acceptable testing site using the link above; review the information on who is allowed to act as a proctor and locate an organization that meets our criteria.
  • Once you have located a suitable proctor, fill out and submit the Testing Center Approval Request form.

Acceptable Proctors

  • Testing Centers affiliated with the National Testing Association (NCTA)
    http://www.ncta-testing.org
  • Testing Centers located at accredited post-secondary colleges/community colleges or universities - including, but not limited to those listed on NCTA (*those listed on NCTA are not the only testing centers available. Many schools not listed offer testing services).
  • Certified librarians currently employed in public or private libraries or colleges and universities.
  • ProctorU (not an option for paper exams and not available for all courses)
  • Professional Learning/tutoring centers
  • Educational officers of a corporation or military branch

Unacceptable Proctors

  • Relatives or spouses/partners/significant others
  • Friends and/or roommates
  • Co-workers, supervisors or business associates
  • Peers
  • Undergraduate students
  • Athletic coaches
  • Anyone who does not have a professional email address (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. are unacceptable)
  • Anyone who cannot provide a computer with internet access for up to 2 or 3 hours
  • Anyone who cannot monitor the student during the exam.

At what locations am I allowed to take my exams?

  • Testing Centers or Libraries.
  • Exams MUST be taken at the center or library business locations.
  • Proctoring in a private residence or setting is NOT permissible.

Do proctors charge for their services?

  • Students should check with the testing center or proctor about any charges levied.
  • Any charges are the responsibility of the student.

Are there any technical requirements needed by proctors?

  • Proctors must have access to the Internet.
  • Proctors should have an official business email account (not free email accounts like hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc).
  • The proctor should also have access to a printer and scanner.

Can I use a proctor that was previously used?

  • Yes, you may use a previous proctor. Be sure to check with the proctor to be certain they are still willing to proctor for you.
  • If so, fill out and submit the Test Center Approval Request form.

May I change proctors?

  • Yes, please fill out and submit a new Testing Center Approval Request form.
