Proctor, Proctor - give me the news!....

Call Center customer:  "Do you [JPL] provide proctoring services?"

(Ever since this question came to me in the call center, I've had Robert Palmer's Bad Case of Lovin' You stuck in my head, but I digress.)

Of course, the answer is "no, we most certainly do not," but then I'm never sure where to refer the customer who is looking for proctoring services.

It just so happens that the National College Tester Center provides a free referral service through their Consortium of College Testing Centers, primarily to facilitate distance learning.  There are two members in our area:

• Open Campus Florida State College at Jacksonville 632-5020
• University of North Florida, Office of Academic Testing 620-2927

Note:  Both sites offer proctoring by appointment-only, and are fee-based.

If you find other local sources, feel free to list them in the "comments."
