The school utilizes an approved third-party proctoring service, such as Learn, Test Pass or another comparable AI-assisted remote proctoring platform, to administer and monitor examinations and to verify compliance with NCREC requirements.

In-Person Courses

Students enrolled in courses delivered in a traditional classroom setting shall complete the end-of-course examination under the supervision of an approved proctor. The proctor shall verify each student's identity prior to the examination, monitor the testing environment throughout the examination, and ensure that students do not access textbooks, notes, electronic devices, or other unauthorized materials during the examination.

Synchronous Distance-Learning Courses

Students enrolled in synchronous distance-learning courses shall complete the end-of-course examination using the school's designated third-party proctoring platform. The proctoring system shall verify the student's identity through authentication procedures and continuously monitor the examination session using live and/or AI-assisted technology. The system is designed to detect and report behaviors that may indicate the use of unauthorized materials or other testing irregularities. Students are required to comply with all proctoring procedures established by the proctoring service.

Distance Education (Asynchronous Online) Courses

Students enrolled in asynchronous distance education courses shall complete the end-of-course examination through the school's designated third-party proctoring platform. The platform shall verify the student's identity prior to the examination and monitor the examination using live and/or AI-assisted proctoring technology to ensure the examination is completed by the enrolled student without the use of textbooks, notes, electronic devices, or other unauthorized materials.

Examination Security

All students are required to:

• Present valid government-issued photo identification or other approved identification before the examination, as required by the proctoring service.
• Complete any required identity verification procedures established by the proctoring provider.
• Test in a private environment free from interruptions.
• Comply with any room scan or workspace inspection required by the proctoring system.
• Refrain from using textbooks, notes, study guides, mobile phones, smart watches, calculators (unless specifically authorized), or any other unauthorized materials during the examination.

Any suspected violation of examination security procedures or academic integrity standards may result in invalidation of the examination, disciplinary action (including but not limited to expulsion from the school), and any additional action permitted under school policy and applicable NCREC rules.

Record Retention

The school shall maintain documentation demonstrating that end-of-course examinations were administered under approved proctoring procedures. Examination records, identity verification documentation, proctoring reports, and any incident reports generated by the third-party proctoring service shall be retained in accordance with applicable North Carolina Real Estate Commission record retention requirements.

Compliance

This policy applies to all instructional delivery methods offered by the school, including in-person, synchronous distance-learning, blended learning, and asynchronous distance education courses. All end-of-course examinations shall be administered in compliance with Rule 58H .0207(c) of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission.
