Effective July 1, 2024

ProctorU/MEAZURE LEARNING is a third-party proctoring service that allows individuals to test at an alternate location rather than utilizing a TVCC testing center. This service is provided for an additional proctoring fee to testers to be assessed each time a student takes or retakes the exam. Individuals opting to take the TSIA2 test with ProctorU/MEAZURE LEARNING are subject to the rules and guidelines established by ACCUPLACER and ProctorU/MEAZURE LEARNING and will also adhere to TVCC’s student code of conduct which details academic dishonesty, deception, and false representation.

 **Testing sessions receiving a “red flag notification” from remote testing will result in immediate invalidation of test scores and will require retesting.
