ProctorU is an online platform that provides exam-reviewing and proctoring capabilities. MSU Denver has integrated two versions of ProctorU – ProctorU Auto and ProctorU Live+ – within Canvas to allow faculty to provide assessments online while promoting online assessment integrity and deterring cheating.
Your instructor may elect to use student authentication (ProctorU Auto), live human proctoring (ProctorU Live+), both, or neither as part of their instruction. Your experience with ProctorU will be very different depending on which service your instructor uses, so please check with them if you are unsure which service is being used.
