You should have received this information in an email from the College.  Or it is available on ARC for STUDENTS: Be Laptop/Desktop Ready for Proctorio What You Need to Be Ready for Final Exams Hello Students, As instructors use and require Proctorio exam monitoring for your final exams, here is a comprehensive guide + checklist that will help you make sure you are ready for them. WHAT IS PROCTORIO?
  • Proctorio is a remote proctoring service that is used with some classes when you take quizzes and exams in Blackboard.
  • Proctorio may record your webcam, your screen, or other actions during the exam session and share that information with your instructor.
IF MY ONLINE EXAM REQUIRES PROCTORING, WHAT WILL I NEED?
  • A regular computer (Windows/Mac computer or laptop)
  • A working webcam and microphone (internal or USB)
  • A reliable (high-speed) internet connection
  • Your student/government photo ID
  • The Google Chrome browser
  • The Proctorio Google Chrome extension
  • A quiet private location with a reliable internet connection.
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure these requirements are met. HOW DO I PREPARE FOR PROCTORIO EXAMS?
  • You need to use a regular computer (Windows/Mac computer or laptop). You cannot take the exams from mobile devices (e.g., iPhone, iPad, Android device, etc). You need a working webcam and microphone (depending on the options your instructor has selected).
  • You must use the Google Chrome web browser and the Proctorio Extension.
  • You need to install the Proctorio extension for Google Chrome. Installation takes less than 30 seconds. The exam that requires Proctorio will usually prompt you to install the extension if you need it.
  • You need to have a photo ID card available. Depending on the settings your instructor has used for the exam you may be asked to hold up your ID to document you are the test taker.
  • You need to be ready for room scans. Again, depending on the settings on your exam Proctorio may ask you to do a room scan; turning your web camera in a 360-degree pan to look at the room. Proctorio may ask more than once if the program hears noises: the application is trying to ensure there is nobody else in the room.
Using Proctorio is fairly simple. Proctorio walks you through the process as you’re taking the exam, so you do not need to refer to any instructions while you’re using Proctorio. WHAT INFORMATION DOES PROCTORIO COLLECT FROM STUDENTS?
  • Proctorio will record the students’ identity via webcam and, depending upon the exam settings controlled by individual instructors, monitor your exam attempt in various ways. A multitude of privacy provisions have been established to ensure student privacy and FERPA compliance.
    • During the exam Proctorio may do the following:
      • Take screenshots of your desktop
      • Detect the number of computer monitors connected to your computer
      • Record your room via your webcam
      • Record your web traffic
    • This information will only be recorded if the professor has enabled it within the exam settings.
    • The information is stored with zero-knowledge encryption, which means the data is encrypted both in transit and at rest.
    • Once an exam is completed, Proctorio no longer has access to this information.
      • It is impossible for anyone at Proctorio or any of its affiliates to view exam recordings.
      • Exam recordings are only accessible to authorized users at Corpus Christi College & St. Mark’s College.
      • Proctorio has no file access of any kind. Proctorio cannot and will not access any of your personal files or documents.
      • Proctorio never stores academic information from any of its users.
