As we approach the Midterms season, here are some important best practices to consider while using online proctoring.
- Provide your students with our best practices by sharing the Five Steps for Success guides.
- Please ensure that all exams are entered at least 2-3 weeks in advance of the exam start date.
- Encourage students to schedule their appointments at least a week in advance or at the minimum 72 hours in advance of their desired appointment time.
- We can accommodate up to 300 test-takers per hour and need at minimum a 1-hour window for every exam entered.
- Communicate expectations, relay permitted resources for exams, and codes of conduct with students so they are prepared for their ProctorU session.
- MythBusters addresses common misconceptions students have about online proctoring.

Best of luck on Midterms!
