ONLINE TUTORING

Brainfuse – Free supplemental 24/7 on demand tutoring support and resources across a wide range of subjects.  Online tutoring is an added supplemental support service to assist all CCM students, especially those who may only be taking online and/or hybrid courses or who may not have access to campus everyday.  Furthermore, online tutoring addresses the needs of students during the evenings, weekends, holidays, winter and summer terms, when the Center may not be open or operating with limited hours and available in-person tutors.

Online Proctoring

Smarter Proctoring is an online proctoring service that may be used in some of your courses.  This allows you to take your exam from the comfort of your home.  This automated service is available 24/7 and does not require scheduling.  Follow these instructions to get ready to take an exam with Smarter Proctoring.  Smarter Proctoring highly recommends you determine your system compatibility prior to your exam date.   Maintaining a strong and stable internet connection is essential (ie: make sure no one else is using the internet while you’re testing.  Things like watching Netflix/Hulu or playing online video games will slow down the connection and may disconnect you from your exam.  You can review Smarter Proctoring’s Privacy Policy here.

County College of Morris uses Smarter Proctoring for online exam proctoring. If a student does not want to use Smarter Proctoring, a student may choose to sit for a proctored exam at an authorized testing site. If a student chooses to use an authorized testing site, they must contact the faculty in writing no later than 10 business days prior to the scheduled exam. The student is responsible for any out-of-pocket fees.
