DORA applies the NAIC’s standardized terms and definitions for guidance as to who may serve as a proctor. An approved proctor is an impartial, disinterested third party or currently licensed agent with no family or financial relationship to the student and is over the age of 18. The proctor must verify the student’s identity and complete an affidavit supplied by the approved provider testifying that the agent received no outside assistance. Membership in a professional association/organization does not constitute a financial relationship.
