For off‐campus students located outside of Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties, DEN will work with the student to help identify a proctor. A proctor is defined as someone who will be responsible for administering and collecting your exam(s).

- Company immediate supervisor
- Company HR representative
- Company education coordinators
- Local College/School representatives
- Local librarians
- Testing/Examination Centers
Proctors for DEN students may not be:
- Peers
- Direct reports
- Family
- Friends
- Former coworkers or supervisors
- Fellow students
About Testing Centers
These centers are usually open during standard business hours of 9am‐5pm local time and frequently charge a fee for their services. Professional testing centers are not affiliated with USC and administer exams for DEN as a professional courtesy.
Proctoring fees should be paid to the testing center and are due at the time of the examination. Fees will vary from location to location and are paid by the student directly to the testing center.
-
- Examinations administered at authorized testing centers must be held at, or as close as possible to, the same time students on campus take the examination.
- DEN will work with the student to identify and coordinate with local testing centers and notify students and proctors of the examination date, time, and location. To accommodate students in other time zones, or if there is a conflict with testing center hours, the examination may be given at a time different from on‐campus. In these cases, the examination will take place as close to the actual on‐campus examination time as possible.
In keeping with university policy for all students, students are not permitted to miss or relocate an exam because of vacation. Due to students ' personal vacations, DEN will not schedule make‐up or alternate location exams.
