Online Course Testing

Many online courses at Lansing Community College require one or more proctored exams. Check your syllabus or contact your instructor to determine if you will be required to test in a proctored environment.

LCC Testing Center Options

• You may take your online course test at any of our LCC testing centers, including Main Campus, West Campus, East Campus and the Livingston County Center in Howell. 
• Hours are subject to change during break periods and holidays.

 

Off-Campus Testing Options

You may also request to test at an approved off-campus (non-LCC) testing site, typically another college testing center. Test proctoring fees may apply at non-LCC testing centers. If you need assistance locating a proctor, contact us at 517-267-5501 or lcc_online_testing@lcc.edu.

Requests to test at a non-LCC testing site must be submitted at least 5 days in advance of the open date of your exam, in order to ensure your site is approved, and that there is time to send test information and materials to your testing site. Once your non-LCC site is approved, all tests will be sent to that offsite proctor for the semester.

ProctorU

ProctorU is a service that monitors you while you are taking your exams online using your webcam and microphone.

Please note that ProctorU is only available for students in online classes taking exams in Desire2Learn.

In order to use ProctorU, you will need: 

• to test alone in a private, well-lit room with a cleared workspace
• a high-speed internet connection
• a webcam and microphone (internal or external)
• a government-issued photo ID
• ensure your equipment is working and install a ProctorU browser extension for either Chrome or Firefox prior to your first exam

ProctorU cannot be used with Chromebooks or tablets. Scrap paper is not allowed, but dry-erase boards (whiteboards) may be used instead (available for low prices at most dollar and grocery stores).

Proctor U charges a fee of $15 - $25 depending on the length of time of the exam. Exams scheduled with ProctorU less than 72 hours in advance will incur additional on-demand scheduling fees.
