Online Course Testing
All appointments for online courses are made in your Canvas course shell via SmarterProctoring.
The only exception is for students with private room accommodations, which must be scheduled through a staff member at your campus of choice. For contact information, please visit our Assessment Center Information Page.
Local Online Testing
FSCJ provides free, on-campus testing for all online courses at our campuses and centers.
Virtual Testing
If your professor is providing virtual testing options, you must have a working webcam and microphone. Prior to each testing session, you should run a system check provided by the vendor to ensure your computer hardware, software, and internet connection supports the session. The table below provides current pricing for remote and virtual testing services.

***This option is always on, as this allows students to schedule at any college or univerity in the SmarterProctoring network. Should students outside of the Jacksonville area need on-site proctoring, they can find a location via this option. If a college is not located near them, a Remote Proctor Request Form would need to be completed.
Please note that students are responsible for any fees associated with remote proctoring or virtual testing services.
Remote Site Testing
To secure a proctor at another institution, students can use SmarterProctoring (if enabled by their professor) or provide an Online Remote Site Proctor Approval Form to the Distance Learning Assessment Coordinator. It is strongly recommended that a completed form be sent to Deerwood Assessment Center Remotes Testing Services at oc-proctoredtesting@fscj.edu at least two weeks in advance of your desired test date.
Students are responsible for all associated fees.
Please reach out to your professor if this is the option you wish to pursue.
Please see Remote Site Testing for more details.
