New Proctoring Requirements:
Part of the Global Seal of Biliteracy’s policy that each and every accepted test requires impartial human proctoring to protect the integrity of the test to the highest degree. For this reason, we only accept tests administered by an impartial human proctor such as a school official, teacher, etc. The virtual remote proctoring or home proctoring option, if selected, must be used in conjunction with an impartial human proctor, even if digitally remote. Tests that are solely proctored by parents/guardians will not be accepted. For any questions or concerns please email us at info@theglobalseal.com
