Tracking Proctor Invitations and Responses

When you assign a proctor for an examination site, Civic Platform sends an email invitation to the selected contact. The email includes information about the exam(s) and provides the prospective proctor with an opportunity to accept or decline the proctor assignment by clicking the appropriate link.

You can use the Registered Records tab to track whom you have sent proctor assignment invitations to, and what responses Civic Platform has received in reply.

When you select the time and site of any exam, Civic Platform lists the proctor assignments. This listing includes the proctor name and the status of the assignment. Status options include Assigned, Accepted, and Rejected, along with the date that the status was last updated.



Based on the information you see, you may decide to remove a proctor from this list and reassign an examination to a new proctor. See Reassigning an Examination to a New Proctor for more information.

Removing a Proctor from an Examination Event

You can remove proctors from an exam event using functionality on the Registered Records tab. When you remove a proctor, Civic Platform sends an email to that proctor to notify him/her of the change in assignment.

To remove a proctor, follow the procedure described in Reassigning an Examination to a New Proctor.

Reassigning an Examination to a New Proctor

When you assign a proctor to an examination, Civic Platform sends the prospective proctor an email invitation which he/she may accept, decline, or ignore. Once you have made the initial assignment, you can track the responses to your invitations from the Registered Records tab for an exam. If you see that a proctor has either rejected an assignment or has not responded to the invitation, you can remove that individual as a proctor for the exam and assign a new proctor, all from the Registered Records tab.
