Testing Requirements

Central Texas College Distance Education

Identifying a test proctor outside of the Killeen area


The following are appropriate testing centers:


  • Central Texas College Continental/International site, or embassy.
  • Central Texas College Service Area Site.
  • Community College or University Testing Center.
  • High Schools may be used by their students (including dual credit) under the supervision of principal, counselor, or faculty, if permitted by Independent School District (ISD) administration.
  • Public Library facilities under supervision of Librarian or assistant.

The test proctor must be a neutral third-party professional employed with one of the above educational institutions and have a bachelor’s degree. Students who are overseas may use commissioned officers with a minimum of a bachelor's degree and who are not in the chain of command/supervision of the student.

Proctors must have an official email address that has been assigned to them such as @ctcd.edu, @killeenisd.org, or @us.army.mil. Personal email addresses such as gmail, yahoo, or hotmail cannot be used.

The following are NOT appropriate test sites/proctors:


  • Friends or relatives
  • Personal Residence

Please make arrangements for testing at the beginning of your class to prevent delays, then contact CTC Testing Services to identify your test site and get your proctor approved. See their webpage at https://www.ctcd.edu/students/current-ctc-students/testing-services/, email testing.clerk@ctcd.edu or online.testing@ctcd.edu, or call 254-526-1194 or 254-526-1661 (toll free 800-792-3348 ext. 1661).



Registering proctors who have never proctored for CTC


Once you have made contact with your potential test site and secured its hours of operation, testing procedures, and contact information, contact CTC Testing Services to identify your test site and get your proctor approved. CTC Testing Services will notify the proctor of approval and provide access information. Normally, test site information is processed in 5-7 business days. To check the status of your proctor approval, contact CTC Testing Services at online.testing@ctcd.edu.

You will make arrangements with your proctor for test dates and times. Consult your syllabus or contact your instructor to determine which exams you must take. Test sites will not have this information; you must provide it.



Proctors already proctoring for CTC


Once you have made contact with your potential test site, please inquire if they are already registered as a CTC proctor. If they are, you do NOT need to request approval from CTC Testing Services. The test site will already have the ability to access your exams.

You will still need to make arrangements for test dates and times based on the testing windows provided in your syllabus and proctor availability.  Bring your course and test information with you to the test site. If the exam is not available at your scheduled time, contact your instructor for further instructions.
