Your SPC course may require one or more of your assessments to be proctored. Beginning January 2024, proctoring will be facilitated through a fully online platform called Respondus LockDown Browser. Additionally, certain courses may require you to test using Respondus Monitor. Utilizing Respondus LockDown Browser/Respondus Monitor incurs no cost; it is entirely free.

Students can test using their personal device. Alternatively, students who do not have access to a personal device can take their test at any of the designated locations provided below.
