Taking exams for online courses
#1
I'm a student located outside the US, and I'm looking into taking some online courses at a few different colleges. However, I'm running into some issues figuring out how to take tests and exams, since it's pretty difficult to find testing centers where I am.

I'm considering programs at:
  • Clovis Community College
  • St. Louis Community College
  • Santa Fe Community College
  • University of the Cumberlands
  • Luna Community College
  • New Mexico Community College
  • Mesalands Community College
For those of you taking online classes at these schools (or really any US colleges) from outside the US, how do you handle exams and tests? Are there alternatives to using testing centers? Do any of these schools offer fully online proctoring?

Any tips or experiences would be super helpful.

You are limited to courses that don't require on-site proctoring. I took microbiology and anatomy and physiology at New Mexico Junior College and the tests were online, so that's an option in at least some cases. If the syllabus says you need to take the test in the testing center, then that's a course you shouldn't sign up for.

That’s wild those classes didn’t require proctoring or in person practicals.

Did I say they didn't require proctoring?

Doesn’t really matter. The latter half of not have in person practicals is even more baffling to me.

I taught these courses at the college level.
