Testing & Proctored Exams
All online courses offered at Co-Lin WILL REQUIRE ONE OR TWO IN-PERSON PROCTORED EXAMS.
Testing Information
Proctored Exams
For the required in-person proctored exam, the student may schedule an appointment at any of the testing facilities located on all 15 community college campuses in Mississippi by clicking on In-Person Proctoring inside the Canvas course. No fee is assessed to students enrolled in an online course when using a proctoring site on a Mississippi community/junior college campus.
Note:
- It is the student’s responsibility to plan appropriately for the test. Set your appointment for the test as soon as your instructor provides the dates of availability to ensure that you are able to secure an appointment that fits with your schedule.
- Students must show a photo ID prior to testing.
- No cell phones, computers, or other electronic devices should be brought into the assessment center unless specifically listed as a permitted material during testing by the course instructor.
- Do not bring anyone with you to the Assessment Center.

Live Online Proctoring
SmarterServices Live Online Proctoring is an online proctoring service that is provided through CLCC’s participation in the Mississippi Virtual Community College. Approved use of this service is determined by each individual instructor. This is an optional paid service for students.
Student Support for Live Online Proctoring with SmarterServices
NOTE: Students who choose to use this optional service will be required to use a web-camera before and during the assessment. Testers may be asked to pan the surrounding area before and during testing. Students who are not comfortable with using a web-camera for this purpose should use an approved MSVCC Assessment Center.
Zoom-Proctoring
To maintain the integrity of online classes, Zoom-proctoring will not be available to all online students. Zoom-proctoring will only be available to students who have an approved hardship (ex: military deployment, quarantine, out-of-state work assignment) for not being able to take their exam in person. Co-Lin’s eLearning Team will facilitate any approved Zoom-proctoring sessions.
You must submit your request for a Zoom-proctoring appointment at least five (5) days before you need to take your exam. This timeline is strictly enforced. Any requests after that point will be automatically denied. Your request will be reviewed and validated by the Office of eLearning. After the eLearning Team has received your request, you will receive an email confirming whether your request has been approved or denied.
If you have any questions, please email proctor@colin.edu
