Create and set up a ProctorU account

As a coordinator there are a few steps you need to perform to be able to access ProctorU settings within Canvas: creating an account, downloading the appropriate ProctorU extension for your browser and signing in to the extension.

Creating a ProctorU account

1. Access the ProctorU registration screen.
2. Select ‘Instructor’
3. On the ‘Create an account’ screen fill in the necessary details. Use your UTS staff email in the email field.
4. If you wish to add a snapshot of yourself allow ProctorU to access your camera (this will come in the form of a browser prompt requesting to use your camera.)

Once the details have been filled in and confirmed you will be taken to a screen that informs you that your request has been submitted and you account will be available to use within the next 48 hours – you will also receive an email with this confirmation. Once your request has been confirmed by ProctorU and UTS, you will then be able to sign in to your ProctorU account using the email and password details that you provided.

Downloading the ProctorU browser extension

To access the ProctorU settings in Canvas, you will need to download a browser extension to work on either Google Chrome or Firefox (other browser types are not supported).

• For Google Chrome: Access the Chrome ProctorU Browser Extension on the Chrome Web Store. Select ‘Add to Chrome’ and then ‘Add extension’.
• For Firefox: Access the Firefox ProctorU Browser Extension via the page on the ProctorU website. Select ‘Download now’ and then ‘Continue installation’ when prompted to do so by the browser. When extension has loaded select ‘Add’ to finalise the process.

Students will not use a browser extension to access their AI-Invigilated exam. They will complete their exams with the ProctorU Guardian browser.

Accessing ProctorU in Canvas

Once you have loaded the browser extension and had your account confirmed, click on the blue owl icon in the top right corner of your browser window and select login.

You will be taken to the ProctorU login screen where you can enter your email address and password. Once you are logged in you will be able to enter Canvas and access the ProctorU settings on the quiz/test pages.
