Approval of September Agenda – Denise Gillespie made the motion to approve and Jennifer James seconded the motion. September agenda approved. IV. Unfinished Business A. Election (Tish Stewart) 1. With the change of positions, we will need some new nominations for president elect. Will have voting at next month’s meeting. B. F2F Proctoring (Tish Stewart) 1. Christa Wilhite sent out a link to a Google Doc proctoring form. All colleges were supposed to complete this so that we would know who was doing F2F proctoring. Link to Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19Hzl- IPkdiM54FruT85Alo_ys5FKa88v39sb-mnm2x0/edit#heading=h.9m8hccdbrp0x 2. Amanda Hood and Denise Gillespie suggested that if using HonorLock, we will need to reach out to the other colleges to obtain the bypass pin for that particular test instead of giving out our global bypass pin. a. Possible solution would be to still allow students to use HonorLock but would need to be separated in some capacity in the lab. That is what Holmes did for a Hinds student recently. 3. Tish Stewart stated that they are going to use the SmarterProctoring virtual system. SP is charging only $4 per session; which is cheaper than HonorLock. 4. Tish stated that the SmarterProctoring virtual proctoring system is available now but that they will not begin using it until November. 5. Kandie Johnson commented in the chat that they used SP virtual system in the Summer and had a lot of issues with it.
