SCHEDULE A NETMATH EXAM WITH PROCTORU

Starting May 15 2023, ProctorU exams for UIUC courses will require use of the Guardian Secure Browser. ProctorU exams will be unavailable between 8 AM - 10 AM CDT on May 15th, 2023 in order to complete the transition to Guardian Secure Browser. Updated information for Live+ test takers is available here. 

Step 1: Test your equipment

  2. Your browser will ask you to allow ProctorU to use your camera to take a snapshot of you. Note: this step can be skipped if you don’t wish to take a snapshot at this time. In that case, the proctor will upload a picture of you during your first testing session.
