Overview

Examity is an online proctoring service that allows online and distance learners to take exams without needing to schedule an on-campus visit and proctor.

Cost of using Examity

Students will not be charged for the use of Examity in any courses.

System requirements

To take a proctored exam using Examity, you'll need the following:

A computer (PC, Mac, or Chromebook), a camera, and a microphone. Both built-in and external cameras and microphones are acceptable. To test your webcam, visit https://webcamtests.com/.
A location with a sufficient internet connection and at least 2 Mbps upload and download speed. To test your internet speed, visit http://www.speedtest.net.
Chrome browser. Examity will run only on Chrome.

Access the dashboard

To access the Examity dashboard:

Log into Canvas, and navigate to your course.
In the course navigation menu, select Modules.
Click Examity v5-2.

From the Examity dashboard, you can create or edit your profile; schedule, reschedule, or cancel an exam; or begin an exam.

Important:

UITS recommends that you arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of an exam. This allows ample time to connect with your proctor and to troubleshoot any technical issues that may arise.

The time it takes you to connect to proctor support and complete the authentication process does not count towards your exam duration.

Notes:

You'll need to disable your pop-up blocker to be able to connect with proctor support.
If you have issues with the browser extension, your proctor may request keyboard access to manually enter the password.
