NOVA Online Proctoring
At NOVA Online, your assessments are proctored virtually, just like in campus-based courses. Faculty will schedule specific days and times for your tests, and you'll use tools like Respondus Monitor and Respondus Lockdown Browser to ensure a secure testing environment. These tools help maintain academic integrity while providing flexibility for online students.
What technology is required for NOVA Online proctoring?
The proctoring solution for your course determines which software you will use for your assessments. All software required for NOVA Online assessments is free and accessible through the college.
In addition to your computer, you will need a functioning webcam.
Zoom Live Proctoring is conducted via the Zoom web client or application. Respondus Lockdown Browser and Respondus Monitor are integrated with Canvas and accessed directly during the exam. Respondus Lockdown Browser is a specialized browser used for Canvas quizzes that prevents printing, copying, and accessing other websites or applications during the assessment. If a quiz requires Lockdown Browser, you won’t be able to use a standard browser. Respondus Monitor is an add-on that records your testing session and shares the video with your instructor.
Proctor Request
If you need to secure an exam proctor you must submit a NOVA Online Proctor Request form.
