* On-campus testing centers: Many universities and colleges have dedicated testing centers specifically for proctored exams.
* Approved off-campus locations: Some institutions allow students to take proctored exams at approved locations like public libraries, community centers, or other educational institutions. The specific locations will be listed by the institution.
* Online proctoring services: Increasingly, online proctoring services like ProctorU or Respondus are used. These allow students to take exams remotely, but they're monitored via webcam and other technologies. Your exam location would then be your home or another location you choose, subject to the online proctoring service's requirements.
To know where *your* proctored exams can be taken, check your course syllabus, the course learning management system (like Canvas, Blackboard, etc.), or contact your instructor or the institution's testing center.
