All final exams require you to have a proctor who is a disinterested third party to monitor your exam. Your proctor must be present when you launch the exam through the entirety of your attempt. You have three options when choosing a proctor. The Alliance highly suggests Option #1.

• Option #1: You may use MonitorEdu as a virtual proctoring option. With MonitorEDU, an extra device such as a smartphone or tablet is required. A proctor will observe you remotely on camera while you complete the exam at home or at work. No appointment is necessary, and proctors are always available. First navigate to the MonitorEDU website and pay their $18 proctoring fee. When you are ready to take the exam during the exam window, return to this site and click “connect to proctor.” 
• Option #2: You may visit a brick-and-mortar testing location. The quickest way to locate a proctor in your area is to conduct a Google search for “approved proctors near me.” Your search results will yield official testing centers at colleges, universities, libraries, and learning centers. Licensee Insurance Associations (PIA, IIA, etc.) are approved in-person testing locations.
• Option #3: Someone in a dedicated HR or training department role within your organization may sit with you to proctor your exam.

As a student, you should never launch your exam without a proctor present.  The time will begin, and you will lose your exam attempt if your proctor is not present.

Your proctor should do the following:

• Confirm the student’s identity by using a photo identification such as a driver’s license.
• Be certain that the student does not receive any outside assistance while taking the exam. No course materials, help from other people, prepared notes, or access to other websites allowed. The student is allowed to use a non-programmable calculator and a blank piece of paper.
• Remain in the presence of the student the entire duration of the exam.
• Refuse to certify the student if he or she violates any proctoring rule.
• Submit any additional documents required by the student’s state. (see individual state rules at the bottom of this page)
• Report any technical difficulties immediately to examhelp@scic.com or 800-633-2165. If you take the exam outside business hours, someone will assist you on the next business day.

If you reside in one of the following states, your regulator requires a disinterested third-party proctor. This requirement is mandated by your state regulator and not by the Risk & Insurance Education Alliance.

Someone with no direct business or family relationship to the participant. For example, an agency principal, a supervisor, a subordinate, a friend or family member would NOT qualify as a disinterested third party.  Please see the three proctoring options we allow above in “Proctor Rules”.
