ProctorU – Online Proctoring

St. Thomas University is pleased to offer its students the opportunity to take midterm and final exams (if needed) at home with online proctoring. Using a webcam and a reliable high-speed internet connection, students can take their exams anywhere. ProctorU is a 24/7 online proctoring service and is now available to the STU community.

For Students
If your instructor requests that you use the online proctoring service, you are required to schedule an appointment through ProctorU to do so. Your instructor will specify a time-frame for which you are able to schedule and take your exam.


ProctorU allows you to take exams from any location. The service connects you to a real person who you can see and hear. This person will walk you through the exam process and help you if you run into any problems. Click here for detailed information.

For Instructors
ProctorU is a 24/7 online proctoring service. Proctors connect with the test-taker via a web cam, monitor the test taker's computer screen in real time, and authenticate the test taker's identity using a multi-factor process to replicate the face-to-face proctoring experience over the internet. Setting up your exam is easy. Online workshops will be available for anyone who is interested in using the service for his/her online exam. Please check your email for the workshop invitation or just send an email to the helpdesk@stu.edu to reserve a spot.
