Proctored Exams

WTAMU utilizes two main forms of proctored exams: Respondus LockDown Browser (RLDB) and RLDB and Monitor. Not all courses, exams/quizzes, or faculty require proctored exams.

Why Proctor Exams?

Students often question why proctoring of exams is needed. Federal law requires that online programs be able to authenticate students.

Proctoring Options

Faculty are able to choose which options students have for proctoring.
