Remote exam proctoring

Options for verifying identity and exam integrity in fully online courses.

Home / Remote exam proctoring

Choosing an option

An instructor selects which proctoring method a given online exam uses; students without reliable webcam access at home can instead test at a partner testing center near them, arranged through Online & Extended Learning.

What is actually monitored

Remote proctoring checks identity at the start of the exam and flags unusual activity for instructor review afterward; it does not continuously record audio/video for AI analysis without disclosure, and students are told exactly what is being monitored before the exam starts.

In and around Porter Falls

Online and Extended Learning works out of the second level of Halvorsen Library and supports learners across Wesconsin who rarely come to Porter Falls in person.

The practical details

Options: Live remote proctor, recorded proctoring, or in-person at a partner testing center. Equipment: A working webcam and stable connection for remote options. Cost: Included in course fees for Porter-selected tools. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.

If you have a question

The office behind this is Online & Extended Learning (Halvorsen Library, Level 2). Call (715) 555–0128 or email online@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.

Fictional information

UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
