  1. In-Person at DETL
    • Schedule your appointment in advance!
    • This service is free.
      Special notice for midterm and finals: Due to the large volume of students taking exams during midterm and finals week, the Testing Center has enacted strict scheduling deadlines that students are required to follow during those periods to avoid possible additional charges. DETL’s scheduling deadlines and late fees can be found on their webpage.
      [This does not apply to any other times outside of midterm week and finals week. Feel free to schedule your exams anytime without any penalties outside of those periods.]
    • Use RegisterBlast to request an appointment. A minimum of 48 hours advanced notice is required to make an appointment
    • Available days and times for in-person proctoring at DETL can be seen in the RegisterBlast schedule
    • Choose iStudy Semester or iStudy Flex (only for Flex students)
    • Upon verification that you are enrolled in an iStudy course, you will receive an email confirming the appointment
  1. Respondus Monitor
    • All remote proctoring options require a reliable internet connection and a computer or tablet with a webcam.
