American Public University System (System) now includes American Public University, American Military University, Rasmussen University, and Hondros College of Nursing. The System is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Public Education, Inc. (APEI). We are continuing to update our website to reflect our new structure.

Exam Proctors

A proctor is a person who monitors students during an examination. Some courses here will require proctoring.

Your professor will notify you at the beginning of the course if a proctor will be necessary, and you are responsible for finding a proctor located near you.

Acceptable Proctors

  • Local college or university administrators or faculty members
  • School superintendents or principals
  • School or public librarians
  • Military base education officers
  • Other professionals as approved by the university

Responsibilities

Your chosen proctor is required to contact your course professor for pre-approval before the exam can be scheduled, agree to monitor you during the exam, and provide a computer for you to use for up to 4 hours.

Once approved, your professor will provide your proctor with a password and instructions, which will ensure that the test or assessment results are valid. Be sure you check with your proctor before exam day to ensure he or she has received the password.
