UMN Morris Online: Proctored Exams

Some UMN Morris Online courses include a proctored final exam and one or more proctored midcourse exams.

What is a proctored exam?

A proctored exam is an exam that is monitored by an impartial individual called a proctor, or by a proctoring system, while the student takes the exam.

What does a proctor do?

The proctor or proctoring system authenticates the student prior to the exam to ensure the student taking the exam is the student enrolled in the course. The proctor or proctoring system also observes the student taking the exam to ensure that the student only uses the resources allowed during the course of the exam.

Why use proctored exams?

To verify student identity, provide exam security, and ensure academic honesty and integrity during the course of the exam.
