Hi, you can find a lot of information about nominating a proctor in the Student Handbook:
Proctored Exams
Nominating a Proctor
Students must nominate proctors for the semester exams and/or any life/work experience exams they wish to take by completing and submitting the Proctor Nomination Form. Proctor nominations should list two qualified people, living in the student’s general area, who are willing to monitor the semester exams and/or any life/work exams. The Registrar’s office will select one person from the student’s nomination list to proctor all semester exams and any life/work exams. Students will need to nominate a proctor only one time, unless that proctor is later unavailable to monitor exams or continue as a proctor. Students may choose to submit the name of only one proctor candidate if that person is a high school or college administrator, faculty member, guidance counselor, librarian, or member of the clergy. A student in the military may use a test-control officer. In general, acceptable proctor candidates must be responsible individuals with whom no conflict of interest exists. For example, a fellow student, a relative of any kind (by blood or marriage), a roommate, or an immediate supervisor is not a suitable proctor candidate under any circumstances. Students are solely responsible for locating suitable proctor candidates. Proctors should be willing to provide this service free of charge; otherwise, it will be student’s responsibility to pay any proctor fees. Forms and submission instructions are available in the Student Handbook.
When the student is ready to take the proctored exam, the Registrar will send the exam to the proctor. The student and the chosen proctor must decide on a time and place to take the exam. The student will take the exam online in the presence of the proctor after the proctor accesses the exam using the code provided. Proctors are required to confirm the students’ identity through valid government-issued photo identification. If the student is not taking the proctored exam online (the exam is either mailed or e-mailed to the proctor), the proctor must sign a statement that the exam was taken under the appropriate conditions, place the completed examination package along with a signed Certification of Compliance in a sealed envelope, sign the sealed flap, and return the envelope immediately to Ashworth College to be graded. The proctor must make copies of the scan sheets to keep until receipt of the student’s exam at Ashworth College has been confirmed.
A $20 proctored exam fee will be billed to students when they take their proctored exams at the end of each semester. Students will be notified promptly of all exam results.

Proctored Semester Exams
At the end of each semester, students are required to take a proctored, online semester exam. Students must have a minimum grade point average of 2.0 (3.0 for graduate programs) to be eligible to take a semester exam. The purpose of each semester exam is to evaluate the student’s ability to conceptualize and integrate content from all the courses taken in a particular semester. Semester exams are proctored, timed, and scheduled at the convenience of the proctor and student. Students may use their textbooks, printed course materials, and notes during the exam, but may not use the Internet or previously saved electronic files.
Semester exams are graded on a pass/fail basis and the semester exam scores are not factored into the individual course percentages or letter grades. The student must pass each section of the semester exam, earning no less than the applicable passing score (70 percent for undergraduate semester exams; 80 percent for graduate semester exams) to continue in the program. Students who fail the first attempt will be given one retake opportunity for each section in order to obtain the passing score. Students who fail a semester exam on the second attempt will be placed under academic review. Certain factors will be considered in determining whether the student will be permitted to remain in the program or be permanently dismissed. These factors include, but are not limited to, the student’s grade point average for the semester, the number of semesters completed, and the scores earned on the first and second attempts.
Associate and bachelor’s degree students will take a timed, open-book, proctor-supervised exam at the end of each semester. Undergraduate certificate students will take a timed, open-book, proctor-supervised exam at the end of their semester-long program. In the associate degree program, there are four (4) proctored semester exams, one at the end of each semester. In the bachelor’s degree program, there are eight (8) proctored semester exams, one at the end of each semester. In the undergraduate certificate program, there is one (1) proctored exam at the end of the program. A proctored exam is also required for each course for which students seek exemption due to life/work experience credit.
The semester exam consists of five sections that cover the five courses taken in a particular semester; each section consists of ten (10) multiple-choice questions. Students are given three (3) hours to complete the semester exam. Students must earn at least 70 percent in each section of the semester exam to continue in the undergraduate degree or certificate program. For each section failed on the first attempt, students will be allowed 36 minutes to retake that section on the second attempt. Failed semester exams/sections must be retaken within 90 days.
