Important

UAH students must now acknowledge the following upon registration for classes:

"UAH uses the software Respondus Monitor to proctor exams. In registering for courses at UAH, you consent to the use of the software, including audio and video recording of your workspace area, or you consent to follow the instructions at this link to make alternate arrangements."

What this means for faculty:

  • You must indicate if you plan to use Respondus Monitor along with which assessments will require it at least three weeks in advance of the first test. We recommend that you include this information in your course syllabus.
  • This will give students ample time to notify you and Testing Services of their intentions and to make alternative plans.
  • The student will be responsible for arranging to take the exam(s) in the Testing Center or with a qualified monitor.
  • If a student makes approved alternative arrangements, you will need to coordinate with Testing Services to make the exam(s) available.
  • Students cannot be penalized for using an alternative.

Respondus Monitor is a companion application for LockDown Browser that uses webcam and video technology to prevent cheating during online exams. Respondus Monitor integrates seamlessly with learning management systems like Canvas, and is ideal for non-proctored testing environments. (Example: Students taking an exam at home or off site.)
