Online exams are often administered remotely. This is common for online courses or any class that doesn’t provide in-person testing. These exams are usually proctored through an LMS like Blackboard, using a proctoring service such as Respondus Monitor. While Testing Services does not offer proctoring in these situations, this article provides options for students seeking private testing spaces. Don't hesitate to contact our office at (479) 575-3948 or testing@uark.edu for more information.
