Can a proctor be anyone that I know?

It is the student’s sole responsibility to choose a proctor (exam monitor), and proctors must meet several requirements:
• be responsible, respected adults, such as a local official, supervisor at work, librarian, or a religious figure, and be at least 21 years old;
• be willing to comply with UoPeople policies and procedures to ensure the integrity of the exam process;
• have adequate and reliable access to the Internet, including email services;
• be available to be physically present with the student throughout the entire proctored exam
