Exam Proctor Criteria

The American College's Guidelines for Exam Proctors:

The American College requires that every examination be proctored by a "disinterested third party who is not a relative, an immediate supervisor nor employee of the producer and one that has no financial or personal interest in the outcome of the examination." States having additional or alternate requirements are noted below. Students must follow all posted guidelines regardless of the reason for taking the course.

Click on your domicile state below to access the proctor affidavit. All affidavits must be faxed to The American College CE Department (fax: 610-526-1402) no later than the day following the exam. State insurance continuing education will not be granted if your monitor/proctor affidavit is not received in a timely manner. Students who fail to return the appropriate affidavit will have to take the exam again if CE is desired. If your state is not listed below, you do not have to fill out a proctor affidavit but you do need to select a proctor in accordance with The American College's guidelines outlined in bold in the first paragraph. If your state is listed below, select a proctor in accordance with the special criteria for your state, if any, in addition to following the American College's guidelines.
