Brigham Young University - Idaho

If you are within 30 miles of BYUI we request that you take your tests in the BYU-Idaho Testing Centers. Otherwise, you will need to find an approved proctor. 

What is a proctor?

 A proctor is a qualified person willing to monitor your exam. They have a responsibility to facilitate fairness and integrity during testing situations. If you are not able to take an exam at the BYU-Idaho testing center, you will need to make other arrangements with a qualified proctor or testing center.

 Who qualifies as a proctor?

·        Staff at an approved testing center

·         A teacher

·         A school or public librarian

·         A school principal or superintendent

·         An employed seminary teacher (not volunteer), seminary principal, or director of an LDS Institute

·         A guidance counselor or member of a counseling staff

·         A qualified Testing Center from the Consortium of College Testing Centers.

If the proctor is the student's relative, friend, tutor, supervisor, athletic (or assistant) coach, they may not proctor the exam.

Exams must be administered at the proctor's place of business never at the proctor's home or the student's home.

How do I get my proctor authorized?

1) The student notifies BYU-Idaho that they have located a proctor

After you have found a proctor to administer your exam click on the button below and fill out the Proctor Request Form for each test that you take. Please respond to every item requested on the form. Incomplete or inaccurate information will cause delays in providing your proctor with permission to proceed with the exams.

                                                 Proctor/Test Request Form

Please allow 2 full business days for us to provide instructions to the proctor!

2) BYU-Idaho contacts the proctor

After you have filled out and submitted the proctor form, BYU-Idaho will respond to the Proctor with the instructions and passwords for the test and the student will be notified that they may now set a time and date for the test to be taken.  It is the student's responsibility to contact the proctor to set up an appointment to take each individual exam. Proctors or testing centers may charge a fee to administer the exam which the student is responsible to pay. Please remember to give us two full working days to contact the Proctor. Please remember that we are not in the office on weekends and Holidays. 

The Brigham Young University-Idaho Testing Center provides proctoring services to individuals that need to take an exam offered through another institution or organization.

The fee for this service is $5.00 payable with check or cash at the time of testing unless the organization pays the fee.
