The below options will help you ensure your students are completing course assessments responsibly.<\/p>\n

On-site Testing in D2L Brightspace, or on Paper<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"student_taking_test\"BSU Accessibility Services\u00a0offers on-site proctoring in Decker\u00a0Hall, suite 202<\/strong>. They have several quiet rooms set up with computers ready for testing in D2L Brightspace, or on paper. Each room is monitored during normal semester office hours. Cell phones and other personal belongings are not allowed in the rooms, unless you specify that certain materials can be used (like calculators, books, etc.). Your students using this option need to call Accessibility Services at 755-2038<\/strong> to set up their testing appointments in advance. A test scheduling form is also available on the Accessibility Services home page.<\/a><\/p>\n

For students not in the Bemidji area, Extended Learning\u00a0maintains a database of the external proctors students\u00a0have identified <\/em>in locations convenient to them, including a list of testing sites at other Minnesota State Colleges and Universities<\/a>.

Extended Learning will send test information (passwords, directions, etc.) to verified external proctors.<\/p>\n
