The Biggio Testing Services unit is available for proctoring in-person, campus-based assessments for no charge. For virtual proctoring, ProctorU and Respondus Monitor are the two options we support and recommend.
Biggio Testing Services (free)
Human proctors in an NCTA-certified testing center located in Biggin Hall proctor students on any electronic assessment. Your involvement can be as little or as much as you like. For example, you can create the password-protected quiz in Canvas and ask the Testing Center to take care of all student scheduling and proctoring. You may also use the Biggin Hall space to conduct a faculty-led exam with proctoring help from the Biggio Testing Services proctors. Email us to get started.
ProctorU
The cost of ProctorU Record+ and ProctorU Review+ is covered by the Office of the Provost. ProctorU Live+ is an added cost for the student.
Note: ProctorU highly encourages students to schedule their exams in advance. If a student makes a reservation within a shorter period of time, an additional premium fee will be charged. The premium charges follow the below schedule:
- Scheduling/rescheduling less than 72 hours in advance ranges from $5.00 - $8.75
- Scheduling/rescheduling less than 2 hours in advance ranges from $8.75 -$12.00
- Record+ does not require scheduling
To avoid additional fees, be sure to schedule/reschedule exam(s) more than 72 hours in advance.
ProctorU Record+ (Paid for by the Office of the Provost)
Fully automated service with a professional proctored review at the end of each recorded session. ProctorU does the heavy lifting so instructors don’t waste time reviewing flags and can instead focus on their classes and students. Any suspicious behavior is flagged, and incident reports are filed and sent to the instructor for further review.
Record+ is recommended for regular or low-stakes quizzes needing virtual proctoring; this service does not require a scheduled launch.
ProctorU Review+ (Paid for by Office of the Provost)
Live proctored launch where a room pan will be conducted along with a technical environmental check to remove non-permitted resources. After the test taker launches their exam, the proctor leaves, and they are switched to an automated approach where at the end of the session, a professional proctor will review the recorded session for any suspicious behavior. Any suspicious behavior is flagged, and incident reports are filed and sent to the instructor for further review.
Review+ is recommended for most exams, particularly those for which students are allowed specific materials such as a particular calculator. Students will have to schedule a time to take the exam, and instructors must configure the testing window appropriately.
ProctorU Live+ ($15 per exam paid by Student; recommended for international students in a foreign country)
Fully proctored from beginning to end. Live proctored launch where a room pan will be conducted along with a technical environmental check to remove non-permitted resources. If any suspicious behavior is detected during the session, the proctor can intervene in real time and escalate to an intervention specialist if needed. Any suspicious behavior is flagged, and incident reports are filed and sent to the instructor for further review.
Live+ is required for most international students, particularly those in countries with strong firewall protections. The cost to the student is $15 per exam so we encourage faculty to be thoughtful about selecting this option.
