Proctor Information and Registration

ONLINE PROCTOR REGISTRATION

The proctor is the person who fills out the registration not the student. If your proctor registers and the student has not paid or completed all required class time and/or coursework the exams, will not be setup until completed.

WHAT IS PROCTOR TESTING?

For coursework that requires a final exam, Illinois law DOES NOT allow licensees to take the exams on their own. The state requires they be administered by an individual called a proctor. A proctor is a person who has a written agreement with a licensed pre-license or licensed continuing education school; to administer in person, examinations fairly and impartially. The proctor shall authenticate the identity of the student taking the examination, monitor the student and examination-taking process by being physically and visually present for the entire time. A proctor is also expected to protect the confidentiality of school materials. Proctors must be impartial third parties (e.g., not a licensee’s sponsoring broker, managing broker, colleague, or any relative, etc.).

A qualified proctor MUST:

  • Be over 21 years of age
  • Speak English
  • Be capable of performing basic computer skills
  • Be able to fairly administer the exam
  • Be able to abide by/follow the rules/process set forth by the State of Illinois and Sure Win Inc.

Acceptable proctors can be people you know such as: A staff member of any education provider or professional organization; a non real estate licensed professional such as an Attorney, Doctor, Nurse, Police Officer, Fireman, or Business person. Most libraries provide proctors and proctoring services.

PROCESS FOR PROCTORING

Proctor approvals and exam setup are completed within 1 business day. DO NOT sign up and immediately call to have the exam setup. We process these in the order they come in. Calling will delay it. No exceptions. Have your proctor register in advance.

  • THE PROCTOR will fill out an online registration form at SURE WIN Online Proctor Registration for each licensee they will proctor.
  • ​A proctor can proctor exams for more than one student but, must fill out a registration form for each student.
  • Even if the proctor has registered in the past, they will need to register for each student each time they will be proctoring for them.
  • Proctors, before registering make sure the student has signed up and paid for the course. If not, DO NOT register as this will cause delays in the approval and setting up the exams.
  • Once we receive a registration, we review the proctor information, verify the students order and completion of the required coursework. Once everything is verified/completed we set up the exams.
  • If the proctor is not approved, they will receive an email within 1 business day explaining why.
  • The exams are set up after all the required coursework is completed. If the proctor registered before this is completed and DOES NOT get notification of denial, they are approved. We will hold the registration until the student has finished what is required and then set up the exams.
  • Once the exams have been set up, the student will receive an email informing them to contact their proctor to schedule with them to take the exams. The proctor receives an email with a unique username and password for each student they are registered for, along with instructions on how to proceed. NOTE: If the student has received the email and the proctor has not, make sure they check their spam folder. If you are using Outlook or a similar email management program, log into your actual email account and check the spam/junk folder. If it is there, it will not download to Outlook or similar programs. If the proctor has not received it, the proctor needs to email us so we can verify their email and resend it.
