Proctored Activity Student Steps

Undergraduate online courses at the University of North Georgia are required to have at least one proctored activity during the semester to verify the identity of students enrolled in the course.

Your instructor may use any of the six methods or a combination of these methods.

If your instructor is proctoring the exam themselves, you will be given detailed information in your eLearning@UNG (D2L) class. Students not on the instructor's home campus will be expected to travel to their instructor's campus for the proctored activity. At the proctored activity, you must present a photo ID as validation that you are the one who is officially registered for and enrolled in the course.

*No cost is associated with this proctoring method.

For more information, check out the Proctored Activity Resources.
