As the rise in distance education grows, so does the need for distance assessment. Many online classes require that exams be administered by a qualified proctor. Now, trained proctors at UNC Asheville's Asheville Graduate Center can provide a variety of tests, from post-graduate to professional exams. The Asheville Graduate Center customizes its services to fit test-takers' needs. Both computer- and paper-based testing services are provided.
"Online classes vary considerably in what is required for assessment. We are ready to provide the testing methods and conditions instructors require," said Nancy Williams, UNC Asheville coordinator of professional education programs. "Once a student contacts us, we can handle the details of the administration of the test and allow the student to focus fully on the course content, rather than tracking down a qualified proctor." The Asheville Graduate Center maintains professional testing standards and protocol. A trained proctor is present at all times while the student is tested. Test-takers may schedule a test from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For students taking test for course credit, cost is $35 for up to two hours of testing. Cost is $50 to reserve three hours of testing. For professional licensure exams, rates are set and collected by the sponsoring testing agency. To schedule a proctored exam, contact Williams at 828/250-2353 or [email protected]. For more information, call the Asheville Graduate Center at 828/251-6099 or click on www.unca.edu/agc/pep.
