Why are some exams being remote proctored?

For faculty who wish to administer an exam that is similar to the type of exam students would take in a live proctoring situation, the remote proctoring helps to ensure that all students have a fair exam experience.

Remote Proctoring Technologies

Exams will be administered with remote exam proctoring technologies. •

ExamMonitor is a remote proctoring application that records an exam taker while the exam is in progress. After the footage is uploaded at the conclusion of the exam, artificial intelligence algorithms flag any irregular patterns for review by human experts at ExamSoft’s partner, ProctorU. An “incident report” is then sent to the Law School for further review by our own staff and administrators. More information about ExamMonitor can be found here.
