Proctorio is a browser extension and works only with Google Chrome.

Students should download the Proctorio extension ahead of time, or they will be prompted to do so when they open their assignment.

Before you begin, you must have a link to your MindTap exam published in Canvas. However, students should not access the exam directly through this link. To avoid confusion, consider creating a new module titled "Do not access" and let your students know that you will be notified if they attempt to access the exam through this link.

  1. In Canvas, open a course.

  2. Set a time limit for your quiz.

    If your MindTap exam is timed, be sure that the Canvas quiz allows extra time. Students will need time to identify themselves through Proctorio and access the exam.
