ProctorU Review+ is a proctoring service that relies on AI-based monitoring, as well as live proctors who review the footage of students' exam sessions.

For the remainder of the Spring 2020 term, the exams of some courses will be administered on Blackboard and monitored using Review+. Students will not incur a cost by using this proctoring option. Exams will be proctored on demand, scheduling in advance will not be necessary. Students should remain aware of exam deadlines set by the instructor. It is also advised to follow the compatibility verification requirements ahead of the exam date.
