Equipment Requirements

This is everything you will need to begin testing with ProctorU. Most ProctorU exams require the Guardian Browser, you can download it here. We recommend using our test-it-out feature to check the computer you will be using on exam day.  

When testing through the ProctorU Platform, you will need a computer that fulfills the following system requirements.

	Minimum Requirements
Operating System	Windows 10 or later Mac OS 11.0 or later All recent compatible versions of ChromeOS (Extension workflow only)
Browser (extension workflow only)	Chrome
Connectivity	3 Mbps (3072 Kbps) Upload & Download Speed (mobile hotspots and tethering are discouraged)
Webcam	640x480 resolution
Microphone	All microphones other than those built into headphones are permitted.
Speakers	Built-in or external speakers are required.
RAM Capacity	8GB
CPU	4 cores at 2.4ghz
Monitor Resolution	1366x768
Ports	UDP/TCP 80 UDP/TCP 443

It is your responsibility to review the technical requirements to ensure your system is compatible with Proctor U's proctoring software. If your system does not meet the requirements and causes a problem during the exam, you will have to reschedule at your own cost.

NOTE: We recommend using a personal computer (not issued from your employer) and a wired, ethernet connection. The two most frequent causes of technical issues with online proctored exams are testing on (1) a work computer and (2) an unreliable internet connection.
