Proctorio - Updated Steps for Summer

Getting Started

Your instructor may use a proctoring tool called Proctorio which works with Canvas quizzes. To take a Proctorio-enabled Canvas quiz, you will be required to install:

1. Proctorio Browser Extension
2. Proctorio Secure Companion Application

Prior to your exam, your instructor will provide a “practice” Proctorio-enabled quiz. The purpose of this practice quiz is to give you the opportunity to install the Proctorio Secure Companion application and Proctorio browser extension, as well as resolve any issues with Proctorio Support in advance. It is important to take this practice quiz on the same laptop that you will use when taking your exam.

Preparation

To prepare for your Proctorio-enabled quiz, please make sure to do the following:

• Are using a Mac running macOS 13+ or Windows computer running Windows 10 or 11 with permission to install applications
• Have Google Chrome Installed and Up to Date
• Are connected to a strong internet connection
• Have a working camera and microphone
• Close out of all other applications
• Disable any desktop notifications
• Charge your computer
