Summary

ProctorU Record+ is an automated exam proctoring service that does not require appointment scheduling. Students must have access to a computer with a webcam and microphone to use Record+. You can find a full list of minimum system requirements on ProctorU's website. In order to take ProctorU exams, students must create a ProctorU Test Taker account, as well as download and install Guardian Browser.

Preparing for Exams

Section 8 of the Boise State Student Code of Conduct outlines the definitions, policies, and procedures for academic misconduct. While taking exams, students are expected to uphold the standards set in the Code of Conduct. All exam sessions will be reviewed by a live proctor. Students should abide by the requirements below when taking tests.
