Student Purchase of ProctorU Proctoring
The use of ProctorU proctoring services is only recommended for no more than two exams per course (e.g. mid-term and/or final exams) because the cost is per individual exam. The following are the listed options, so please choose the most cost-effective for your proctoring needs:
Auto (recommended)
Description: Fully automated exam proctoring with all activity recorded end-to-end. Videos and incidents are immediately available for USCA faculty review. Cost: $3 per exam.
Auto with Review (recommended)
Description: Fully automated exam proctoring with all activity recorded end-to-end. Exams are reviewed by ProctorU, and a report is sent to instructors within 24 hours if there are academic integrity incidents. Cost: $4 for a 1-hour exam, $6 for 2 hours, $8 for 3 hours, $10 for 4 hours.
Live Launch with Review
Description: Exams are launched by a live proctor for authentication purposes, but the proctor drops once the exam begins. All activity is recorded from start to finish. Exam videos are reviewed by a ProctorU proctor, and a report is sent to instructors within 24 hours if there are any academic integrity incidents. Cost: $8 for a 1-hour exam, $10 for 2 hours, $12 for 3 hours, $14 for 4 hours.
Instructor Support for ProctorU
ProctorU supports its product, and the Office of Distance Learning can provide some limited administrative support. If there are instructors who would like to use ProctorU, they can create an account here. Once they create an account, a faculty rep will reach out within an hour to schedule a 15-minute training session and help them input their first exam. If instructors need additional support, reach out to AccountServices@proctoru.com or 855-772-8678.
ProctorU does have the ability to integrate with Pearson, and they have created an informational website about it here. It is only for their automated service line and costs $12 per student per course for unlimited use. This would require an agreement and work order to be signed with the instructor. For more information, please contact USCA Office of Distance Learning.
