3. What is a Proctor and why do I need one?

A proctor is someone who will administer all exams that you take with Limestone College. A proctor must have a 4 year degree, a valid email address, and should not be a friend or relative to the student. The proctor is responsible for an adequate testing environment. The proctor must be in close vicinity to the student as he/she must be present while the student is taking exams. The meeting can be anywhere as agreed by the proctor and the student (proctor's home, student's home, work place, etc) as long as there is a computer with Internet access.
·        The form needs to be submitted by the second week of class. You and your proctor will receive an email once the application has been approved. Once you have the Proctor Application form on file, there will be no need to submit another form unless you change proctors. A student can only have one proctor at any given time.
·        The proctor will receive passwords for the online tests by email from your instructors. We do not send out the passwords. You must request from your instructor that the passwords be sent to your proctor.
·        For all proctor questions, please email proctor@limestone.edu.

Two Internet courses and one classroom course, OR
Three internet courses, OR
Two overlapping classroom courses (such as regularly scheduled class and “modified” schedule class).

6. What is a Coordinated Study?

A Coordinated study may be offered to an individual junior or senior student by a full-time Limestone College faculty member when the student’s special circumstances do not allow enrollment in a classroom or internet course. The coordinated study course requires individual meetings between the faculty member and the student on a weekly basis. Coordinated study courses must last a minimum of two months and consist of at least eight (8) meetings between faculty and student. A student is limited to two (2) coordinated study courses. A Coordinated study course may not be taken to repeat a course in which a student has received a low grade. Follow these steps in order to request a Coordinated Study:

1. A student must submit a written application for Coordinated Study on the appropriate form available in the Registrar’s Office or the Extended Campus Office.

2. Because coordinated study courses require a significant commitment of the faculty member’s time, these course must be approved by the supervising faculty member, the department chair, the division chair, and the academic dean.

3. A student has one week from the time the Coordinated Study materials are distributed or mailed to withdraw from a Coordinated Study with penalty.

4. During the semester of expected graduation, a Coordinated Study application must be received by the Registrar’s Office or the Extended Campus for the Fall semester by September 30^th and for the Spring semester February 28^th. Graduating seniors must complete all work for Coordinated Study courses two weeks prior to the date of graduation.
