A proctored exam, and why do I need one?
A proctored exam is a test that is required for your course, but it is not given during class time. You may need one if your class at Central Arizona College (CAC) requires you to take a proctored exam at an academic testing location. Your instructor will announce this requirement via in person, your syllabus, or in your Blackboard.
To schedule your In-Person Test, call our Testing Services central call-line:
520-494-5150
Testing centers are located on each of our five campuses:
Aravaipa Campus in Winkelman, AZ
Maricopa Campus in Maricopa, AZ
Superstition Mountain Campus in Apache Junction, AZ
Signal Peak Campus in Coolidge, AZ
San Tan Campus in San Tan Valley, AZ
Effective May 25, 2026, CAC has discontinued Remote Testing Services through our campus testing centers. Students should speak to their instructor regarding the availability of Proctor-U or Respondus Monitor for remote testing.
What do I need to bring to my exam appointment?
- Be sure to bring a picture ID to your exam appointment.
- The Central Arizona College ID is preferred, but a valid driver’s license or passport is acceptable.
- Math exams: Your instructor will provide information on whether you can use a calculator, index cards, formula sheets, and scratch paper.
- Any notes and other items specifically allowed by your instructor.
I forgot to schedule my exam, what do I do?
Proctors cannot adjust end dates on exams. If you miss the last testing date, you must contact the instructor for consideration.
Be prepared by scheduling early and bringing the required items to the testing center.
Please call the testing center if you cannot make your appointment. Staff would be happy to find a different date that will work for you.
What Happens if I Miss My Appointment Time?
Remote testing is on a strict time schedule. If you are late for your exam, we will move on to the next student in the queue.
If you are late and/or issues arise with your equipment and software compatibility with our testing interface, then your appointment maybe canceled (discretion of the proctor). Both the student and the student’s instructor will get a notification.
If a student schedules and misses two remote exams in a semester, then the remote option will no longer be available to the student. The student will have to make an in-person appointment at one of the in-person locations.
