Taking an Exam With Proctorio

UNW has partnered with Proctorio to provide a safe and secure online testing environment. Your professor will inform you if a quiz or exam will be using Proctorio. If your course will be using Proctorio for a quiz or exam, you will need to review the following information. 

Getting Ready for Your Proctored Exam

1. Review Proctorio's system requirements. See the System Requirements page for more information.
2. Make sure you have a webcam that is connected and operational.
3. For Proctorio, you can use either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. You will need to use one of these two browsers for proctored exams. Proctorio recommends Microsoft Edge.
4. Install the Proctorio extension.
   1. Click here to get the Proctorio Chrome extension.
   2. Click here to get the Proctorio Edge extension.

During Your Exam

You will access the exam through your Moodle course. When you start your proctored exam, you will be prompted to perform certain tasks based on the settings your instructor has selected for the exam. These may include showing your photo ID, adjusting your webcam, or scanning your room with your webcam. 

Your exam attempt will be recorded and reviewed by your professor later for academic integrity. During the exam, no one will be watching you take the test. Be sure to follow all exam guidelines provided by your instructor and the Proctorio prompts to ensure your exam attempt is acceptable.

Note for Mac Users

Once you have enabled the Proctorio extension, you will need to go into the settings on your pop-up blocker and change it to allow for all sites.

You will also need to put your other devices in airplane mode or disable the sync between devices, so you don't have pop-up notifications while you take the test.
