How do I find a test proctor for my online classes?

Many online courses require proctored exams. The proctor's role is to verify the identity of the student taking the exam and supervise to ensure that the instructions specified by the instructor are carried out.  More information about Proctored exams.

How do I get a RUN number to register for a course?
