As of May 8th 2024, Boise State University will be switching to the Guardian Browser. The ProctorU Browser Extension will no longer be supported by the university after May 8th.

Summary

ProctorU provides a compatibility check tool to detect potential hardware, software, and connection issues that may cause problems during an exam. This article outlines how the tool should be used.

Instructions

  1. Complete the steps for installing the ProctorU extension before running a compatibility check. You will not be able to run a full check without the extension.

  2. Click this link to start the compatibility check. If your browser prompts you to allow the tool to test your microphone and webcam, be sure to grant it access. You may have to refresh the page after permitting the tool to run.

  3. Expand the System Details tab by clicking the arrow. A more comprehensive compatibility report will appear.
