Attach ProctorU to an Exam in Blackboard

To enable ProctorU for an exam in Blackboard you need to submit a request through the ProctorU website.

Exams should be submitted at least 2 weeks ahead of time to allow for processing and to give students time to schedule their exams.

1. Go to https://go.proctoru.com/ and login.
2. Click "Add New" and select "Exam"
   
3. Course Name - this will be grayed out and will be filled in automatically based on the URL of your course.
4. Exam Title - This should have your course name and the name of the exam.
5. Department - this drop down menu is where you will pick the type of proctor service you want. If you are not sure which one to use, contact remotetesting@cod.edu for more information.
   
   
6. Incident Users - An Incident User is another ProctorU user who will be notified of any incidents during the exam. For example, if you are co-teaching a course you might list the other instructor as an incident user. If you want to add an Incident User, click "Add User."
7.  Instructors - Click "Add Instructor" - your name should auto-populate. If it does not, type your name in or select it from the drop down menu.
