What is Proctortrack?

Proctortrack is the automatic remote proctoring solution your institution has selected for use during online exams.  More information about Proctortrack’s privacy policies and technologies used can be found on our website. 


How does it work?

The following guide will assist you, the student, in going through the process of taking a proctored exam with Proctortrack.  Remember if you ever had any additional questions, you can call 1-844-753-2020 or go to www.proctortrack.com for additional information and live chat.


Why onboarding?

Attempting the Onboarding creates the profile of the students in the Proctortrack System. Often students are unsure whether

their specific hardware setup will allow them to use Proctortrack. While a detailed list of supported operating systems and

browsers is available on Proctortrack.com, students often prefer to test their system themselves. Keep in mind that Chrome andFirefox are the recommended browsers. While Proctortrack will work in other browsers, the user experience is far superior in Chrome. The onboarding process gives students the opportunity to make sure everything is working correctly during

low-pressure circumstances. It also gives students time to make any changes to their system well before the first exam.


Students can fail onboarding for the following reasons:

● Missing or insufficient facial scan.

● Missing or insufficient ID scan.

● ID scan shows invalid ID.

● Missing or insufficient knuckle scan.

● Insufficient environment lighting.


If a student fails the onboarding exam, they will receive a notification listing the specific reasons for failure and they will be

asked to retake the onboarding exam. They can also check their Onboarding status on the Proctortrack Dashboard.

For students, onboarding appears exactly the same as a normal exam to help familiarize them to the testing environment.

It is necessary to pass the Onboarding and have an approved Onboarding profile in order to attempt the actual exams. Steps to take the Onboarding are further explained below in the Guide.
