Steps for Taking Exams for Online Courses

Student Responsibilities

1. Complete the online course and contact the manager of accreditation services to receive proctor information and agreement.

   Telephone: 1-800-272-8258, Ext. 113
   Fax: (703) 742-8471
   E-mail: mary@appraisers.org
   
   
2. Upon receipt of the proctor packet, contact the local chapter representative or, in some cases, the counseling department of a local high school or college and request that a qualified counselor proctor your examination.
   
   
3. The student and proctor decide on a specific date, time and location to take the examination. Make sure you know who the proctor will be, what room to report to, the parking procedure, whether any monetary fee will be charged for proctoring the exam and any other relevant information.
   
   Note: Any fee charged for proctoring the exam is the student's responsibility.
   
   
4. Sign and return the original agreement to the ASA National Office with the proctor information at least 14 days before taking the exam. This informs the ASA education coordinator of the proctor's name, address, telephone number and the date the exam will be taken.
   
   Note: The ASA National Office requires that students give at least 14 days notice to ensure that the proctor receives the examination before the exam date.
   
   
5. Take the examination on the date and time scheduled.
   
   
6. Complete the examination and the survey and evaluation form and turn them in to the proctor to forward to the ASA National Office for processing and grading.
   
   Important: If you must change your scheduled exam date, notify the assigned proctor and the ASA education coordinator immediately so a new testing date can be established.
