University of Akron Remote Proctoring/Monitoring Acknowledgement

In consideration for the opportunity to participate in a remote testing option, I understand and agree that my exam shall be subject to remote proctoring, and that the following conditions will apply:   

  1. The test session will be video monitored by a test proctor or testing software (monitor), recorded, and securely stored by »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ for a period of one year following the end of the academic term of the course for which the test was administered. 
  2. I understand that I will not be permitted to take remotely proctored/monitored examinations in my home/residence hall room unless I am willing to conduct a room scan.  By choosing to take the exam in my home/residence hall room, I am consenting to the room scan of the area where I will take the exam, and that I will show briefly my testing room, ceiling, floor, desk, under desk, and other views of the environment that I select for testing, as reasonably requested by the test proctor or testing software (monitor).  The room scan will only be visible to »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ school officials with a legitimate need to review the video. Other students will not be able to see your room scan
  3. I will give remote access control through Microsoft Teams to the test proctor or test monitor to administer the test. 
  4. I acknowledge that there are no breaks during the remote proctoring test session and that if I need to discontinue for any reason, the proctor or test monitor will consult with »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ testing staff prior to contacting me to discuss potential for arranging completing the test at another date. 
  5. I cannot talk with anyone during the test, except the proctor or the test monitor. This includes use of electronic devices for any purpose other than taking the exam. 
  6. I may not access any resources other than the exam and scratch paper for reading and writing the exam. I may not access any resources other than the exam for computer literacy.  
  7. I understand that the use of backgrounds or blurring of video is not permitted and may result in discontinuing and invalidating my test. 
  8. I will abide by the University of Akron Code of Student Conduct and I understand that violations may result in discontinuing or invalidating my test. 
  9. I acknowledge that I may not disclose test information to any other individual at any time.
  10. I understand that if I choose not to have my home/residence hall room subject to the room scan, I may take the exam from another location where I won’t be interrupted including: one of »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥’s testing centers; a private study room in »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥’s library; a private room in public library; testing centers at my local community college; or other »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ approved community testing sites. It is my responsibility to identify an appropriate location to take my exam, and I understand that I must provide at least 48 hours’ notice to my instructor and the »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ Counseling and Testing Center.
  11. I understand that if I require a testing accommodation, I should contact the »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ Office of Accessibility at 330-972-7928 or at access@uakron.edu.

I acknowledge that I have read and understood and agree to abide by each of the above statements.  If I have had any questions about the meaning of any of these statements, I have had opportunity to ask these questions of my instructor or the testing center and they have been answered to my satisfaction.
