Proctor Application

Assist in the orderly administration of examinations including: recording attendance, enforcing examination regulations, distributing examination supplies, and collecting and reconciling examination papers.

Must be proficient in English comprehension and expression. Some PMC students may have compromised ability to either speak clearly or to comprehend oral conversations. Therefore Proctors must have the ability, flexibility and patience to overcome communication barriers as encountered with students using the service.

Proctors are accountable and responsible for tasks as assigned. The work is physically demanding in that there is considerable walking and standing for extended periods in order to maintain visual and listening access to all examinees. Failure to observe potential violations of Examination Rules and Procedures can compromise the integrity of the examinations process.
