Upgrade cameras in OAS Middletown Campus testing room and purchase cameras for Newburgh's OAS Testing Room



Initiative TitleUpgrade cameras in OAS Middletown Campus testing room and purchase cameras for Newburgh's OAS Testing Room
Submitted in Previous Year(s)2016
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

We have cameras in the Middletown Campus OAS testing room that need to be upgraded to help us monitor exams. In Middletown, we currently use cameras to assist with the proctoring of accommodated testing . We do not use student workers to proctor as we are cautious about students proctoring their peers' exams, both for confidentiality purposes and concerns regarding testing room procedure. The cameras have been helpful in retaining the integrity of the exam too.  We need to upgrade the five old cameras we have in the testing room in Middletown and purchase a total of 3 new cameras for Newburgh (Newburgh currently does not have cameras), and update five cameras in Middletown . The cameras is another  way to proctor exams, but what is most important is that the cameras add a layer of integrity  and security for our testing facility.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

Prioritization Notes

Level 3 (Student Services, VP Office)

We have increased the number of students testing in OAS and the cameras allow for the staff to monitor students remotely.  Currently no cameras are installed in Newburgh.

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

There is an upward trend in requests for testing accommodations and thus an increased need for OAS services. This has also come with an increased number of incidents of cheating and a need to maintain integrity and security for the exams.

Level 5 (Cabinet)

In progress.
