ProctorU is an invasion of student privacy, allowing proctors to sort through and remove content off of the students device without consent (regardless of relation to test material). Proctors need access to your device before you can take your test. They have access to search history, device settings, and everything private on our computers. Students feel really helpless watching the proctor take control and do things without the students consent. 

"They went into my notifications and went through my settings and started switching a bunch of things on and off without explaining to me what they were doing." 

"I really do not like the fact that we have to give them access to our laptops in order to take a test."

"My proctor WENT TO MY SEARCH HISTORY."

"They went into my search history and deleted it."

"My proctor went through my display settings, notifications, privacy toggles, downloaded chrome on my MacBook and added a Chinese extension that made my screen blink on and off."

-Students from UAB

ProctorU is an invasion of privacy and many students have had really bad experiences. We as students of UAB do not want ProctorU to proctor our tests and exams anymore.

We think a lockdown browser, camera on, mic on, is sufficient enough to take an exam. We do not believe anyone should have access to our computers.
