OFTC utilizes a remote proctoring service, Respondus Monitor, in addition to face-to-face proctoring with instructors. Students will need access to a laptop with a camera or a webcam to complete their proctored event(s) via Respondus Monitor. Students must have a photo ID when using Respondus Monitor as well as when coming to campus to take a proctored event with their instructor. Instructors will provide details regarding the proctored event(s) in their courses. Students in online classes who do not complete the proctored event(s) will receive an “F” for the course. Respondus Monitor instructions can be found on the college’s website as well as from the instructors. If an exam is flagged by Respondus Monitor due to suspicious activity, the student may be asked to come to campus to take the exam. Please see the Respondus Monitor Test Guidelines for specific instructions on the use of Respondus Monitor.
