Troubleshooting

At least 48 hours or more before your proctored exams we suggest that you test your equipment and connect with ProctorU’s technical support to ensure that your computer and webcam are working properly.

If you are having software issues, contact ProctorU technical support.

STEP 1: Place your camera approximately 8 inches behind your computer and 8 inches to the side of your computer.
STEP 2: During your exam, your live proctor may ask you to move the camera to have a better angle of view.
STEP 3: Open a browser (Chrome preferred) and go to https://test-it-out.proctoru.com or click on the image above. Make sure that the 5 items have green checks next to them. If they do not have green checks, follow the instructions in red to fix the problem.
STEP 4: When all of the five items are green, or if you cannot change them to green, scroll to the bottom of the page.
STEP 5: Scroll down to "Live technician" and type in your name and University of New England. Ask the live technician to verify that your EXTERNAL WEBCAM is operating correctly. The technician will work with you to ensure that your hardware and software is operating correctly and that you are ready to take a proctored exam.
