Online Exam Proctoring
ProctorU Overview
ProctorU is an online proctoring service for test takers taking exams online. The proctors use a three-step process to replicate the face-to-face proctoring experience over the Internet.
- Proctors connect with the test taker via web cam.
- Proctors monitor the test taker's computer screen in real time.
- The proctors authenticate the test taker's identity using a multi-factor process.
Through this process, the proctors can see the test taker, see what they are doing, and know who they are monitoring.

A professional proctor reviews the video footage within 24 hours of the exam completion and sends notification of any integrity violations detected.
