Need Info on Thomas Edison State College's Military Proctor

Does anyone have any experience with getting a proctor for exams at Thomas Edison State College, especially for military students? What's the process like and is it easy enough to maneuver around?

Indeed, Thomas Edison State University has a very defined process for obtaining a proctor for exams, which is laid down to ensure academic integrity during non-proctored exams. If you are a military student, you can use an Education Service Officer (ESO) or command-designated official as your proctor.

Here's the basic process you'll follow:

1. Identification of a proctor: You must identify a reliable person who agrees to serve as a proctor. As said earlier, for military students, an ESO or command-designated official can usually fulfill this role.

2. Proctor approval: Once you've identified your proctor, they need to be approved by the university. To do this, you'll need to complete and submit a TECEP Proctor Form. On this form, your potential proctor will need to provide some basic details about their qualifications and agree to adhere to the university's proctoring guidelines.

3. Examination administration: After your proctor has been approved, you’ll receive instructions for administration of the exam. The approved proctor will administer the exam following the provided instructions.

The proctor must ensure that the exam environment is quiet, and free of distractions. During the exam, the proctor will be required to monitor your actions throughout, including verifying your identity, ensuring academic honesty, providing the necessary materials and submitting the completed exam.

Generally, students have reported that this process is relatively straightforward, as long as the steps are followed diligently. Of course, you should also balance this with your military obligations as well. It's always recommended to communicate with your proctor well in advance about arranging a suitable time and venue for the exam.
