Training and Tutorials
- Remote Proctoring Guidance
Remote, or online, proctoring allows students to take an assessment (e.g., a quiz, an exam) in a different location than the physical Saint Louis University classroom or testing center. SLU instructors may choose to use remote proctoring to protect the integrity of their assessments, help prevent cheating, and/or verify that the person taking an exam/quiz is the student enrolled in the course.
