APC Zoom Student Proctoring Information
Proctorio Proctoring
What is Proctorio?
Proctorio is a remote proctoring service that works within your web browser to guarantee
test security and academic integrity.
How does Proctorio Work?
Proctorio uses the Google Chrome browser and the Proctorio extension to monitor you
during your exam. Depending on the exam security settings enabled by your instructor,
Proctorio can monitor movement, sound, additional browsers, ect. to ensure students
are abiding by the required exam settings.
How do I get started?
If you do not have the Chrome browser, you will need to download and install Chrome. You
must use a computer or laptop (Windows or Mac) with a working webcam and microphone.
Currently, Proctorio does not work with mobile devices. You will also need to install the
Proctorio extension for Chrome.
What do I need for Proctorio:
- A webcam
- A picture ID (Student ID works)
- Solid internet connection
- Google Chrome and Proctorio Extension
- A quiet place to take your exam
