Information about online proctoring
April 9, 2020 12:45 PM

Dear students,

You may find some of your courses utilizing a tool called Proctorio for online proctoring to help ensure academic integrity of assessments. We are working to ensure that all online tools work well for you and your instructors, and for those of you who may have upcoming assessments utilizing Proctorio, we wanted to provide a few quick tips:

• A guide for downloading and using Proctorio can be found at go.illinois.edu/keeplearning .
• For any technical problems downloading or using Proctorio, please contact Proctorio support.
• Before using Proctorio, you should restart your computer and ensure all possible programs are closed.
• Faculty have been made aware that some students may not have webcam access or reliable internet connectivity. They will do their best to provide alternative testing options should you be unable to utilize Proctorio. 
• Proctorio has a contract with the university that has been vetted for student privacy protection and data security. For additional privacy protection:
• Students can uninstall or disable the Proctorio extension when not in use.
• Students should cover any information on their IDs other than their name and photograph.

Thanks for all your diligent work to keep learning during this semester. Stay healthy!
