What is a Proctor?
High School College Credit Plus proctors serve as the liaison between the student,
Sinclair faculty member, parents, and school administration. Effective proctors work
with their students on a daily basis, provide them with support, and hold them
accountable to the expectations of their Sinclair course(s).
How do I Become a Proctor?
Proctors are typically designated by a high school administrator. Once your school
has selected you to be a proctor you will need to complete the CCP Proctor
Application with Sinclair Community College in order to gain access to the course
that you will be proctoring:
Complete the CCP Proctor Application. (A copy of this application is referenced in
Appendix A.) This application can be obtained from your school’s College Credit
Plus Coordinator. If you do not know who your school’s CCP Coordinator is, please
contact the CCP office at 937-512-5188 or by email at ccplus@sinclair.edu.
Completed applications will be emailed directly to your CCP Coordinator or to
ccplus@sinclair.edu.
Once your coordinator receives and processes your application, Sinclair will provide
you with your username and password to access the online Learning Management
System (eLearn). You will also be provided with the name of the Sinclair Community
College faculty member that you will be working with.
***It is important to note that your access to Sinclair’s system expires after one year.
Upon the expiration of your access, you will need to submit a new Proctor
Application***.

How does a Proctor log into their course?
Your account provides you with access to the tools routinely used to conduct
Sinclair business, including: Outlook (the email, calendar, and scheduling software),
College web resources, and eLearn to access course information.
To log into eLearn, go to my.sinclair.edu and follow steps 1 – 3 in Appendix B:
“GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR NETWORK ACCOUNT AT SINCLAIR”.
After completing those steps you will arrive at the screen below and you will choose
the eLearn Courses button.
Page 3
You will be able to see the course(s) you are proctoring on a screen similar to the
one below. By choosing your course you will have access to the course information.
The access dates listed in the “Note” section beneath the course link applies to
students only. The course is accessible to faculty and proctors prior to the course
start date.

How do Students Log into Their Courses?
LOGGING IN TO MY.SINCLAIR.EDU
Students will be able to access their course through their my.sinclair.edu account:
Student usernames and passwords are mailed to students once they have
completed the application process.
o A student’s username is typically FirstName.LastName. Although,
students with more common names may have numbers listed at the
end of their username.
o A student’s password is initially Pass**** (**** represents the last 4
digits of a student’s SSN and the P in Pass is case sensitive.)
o If a student is unable to login using the above process they can utilize
the “forgot username/forgot password” links that are located under
the login boxes.
o If a student is still unable to login, please have them contact the
Sinclair Help Desk at (937) 512-4357.

ACCESSING COURSES
To access their courses, students will click on eLearn Courses on the left side of the

please contact the Help Desk at (937) 512-4357.

a user still cannot see their course(s), please contact your CCP coordinator.

Page 8
Proctor Responsibilities
Syllabus
Proctors should have all students print the syllabus for the course and review the
syllabus with the students so they are aware of their responsibilities and deadlines.
Sinclair’s Academic Calendar
College Credit Plus courses that are taught by a Sinclair faculty member will follow
the Sinclair calendar.
When Sinclair's campus is closed, faculty are not required to teach CCP courses,
even if the high school is open during that time period. For a list of Sinclair campus
closures, please reference the 2016-2017 Academic Calendar in Appendix C.
All students taking online courses must adhere to the due dates and deadlines for
assignments, tests, projects, etc., even when the high school doesn't have class on
days such as:
High school holidays (for example, President's Day weekend)
High school spring break
High school snow days
High school teacher in-service days, etc.
Proctors should ensure through syllabi and course announcements that these timing
issues are addressed to avoid any confusion on the part of the students.
Alternate arrangements will need to be made by students if they do not have
computer access at home when their high school is closed.
Page 9
Textbooks
Proctors should assure that textbooks are in the classroom prior to the first day of
class. Ordering of textbooks will be arranged prior to the start of the course with
the College Credit Plus Coordinator after the course roster has been received. If you
need additional textbooks, please contact your College Credit Plus Coordinator.
Adding or Dropping students from courses
All Sinclair add/drop dates must be followed for College Credit Plus courses
delivered by a Sinclair Faculty Member. Important dates are available on the
2016-2017 Academic Calendar found in Appendix C.
If you need to add a student to your existing course please ensure that the student
has completed all required CCP enrollment steps; additional information can be
found at www.sinclair.edu/ccp . Once a student has successfully completed all CCP
steps, contact your College Credit Plus Coordinator to register the student for this
course.
If a student changes their high school schedule or needs to withdraw from the
Sinclair course, the high school must notify the CCP Coordinator of the drop via
email. When requesting student drops please abide by the DROP and Withdrawal
Deadlines found in Appendix C.
Page 10
Grades
Proctors who will be assisting in course sections that are restricted to their
students only will be able to view the grades through their course access in eLearn.
Other proctors will need to have their students print or display their assignment,
quiz and test grades through eLearn.
Proctors can also view their students’ final course grades by having the students
print or display them from their Web Advisor in the Unofficial Transcript link of the
Academic Profile section.
Proctor Best Practices
Monitor student progress weekly and help the student submit assignments
on time
o Ask students to check their User Progress or their Grade tab to ensure
they are on track
o Meet one-on-one as needed
Establish rapport with students and ensure that students are on task
Issue reminders about assignment due dates
Communicate with online instructor via email and/or phone
Check your course email daily and respond to instructors in a timely manner
Encourage communication between your students and their course
instructor
Teach and encourage students to be self-directed, independent learners
Review assignment sheets and criteria for grading
***You may receive additional guidelines or instructions from the Department Chair
or Course Instructor. Please abide by the Department policies.

Tips & Tools for Proctors
eLearn Email:
Email in eLearn is not an external email package.
This means that:
a) Users can only send mail to other eLearn users while in eLearn.
b) While users can forward their eLearn mail to an external address to
notify them that they have received email within eLearn, they cannot
respond to it.
Folder Filtering:
o Inbox: The inbox mail can be filtered by either “ALL” or by the course
from which it was sent.
o Sent: To see sent mail, be sure to filter by “ALL”. If you attempt to
filter by course, no mail will show (this is a known bug).
o Draft: To see mail in the draft folder, filter by “ALL”. If you attempt to
filter by course, no mail will show (this is a known bug).
Quiz Security Option Can Lock Course Mail:
There is a setting in quizzes that allows faculty to “disable pager and alerts” while a
user is taking a quiz. If this setting is set in a quiz and the user begins but does not
complete the quiz, email will no longer be available. Unfortunately, if you create a
quiz in the content area, the setting will be checked by default.
User Progress:
User progress tab allows students to see and access certain “restricted” content
items. For example, if an item is left in “draft mode” the student can see it under user
progress. In order to truly restrict content by date, be sure to use the “start” and
“end” dates.
