On-Campus Proctoring

Proctored Exams

If your online course includes proctored exams, you will need to schedule an appointment to take an exam supervised by university staff at the UO Online Exam Center located in the Knight Library, Room 19, across the hall from the UO Testing Center. If you would like to schedule your appointment at our Portland Northeast campus location, please visit the bottom of our Off-Campus Proctoring page. Appointment availability at both locations may vary throughout the term, with both locations adhering to university closures and holiday observances according to UO policies. Appointment availabilities will become available two weeks before the start of an exam window, and students who require accommodations will need to schedule exams through the Accessible Education Center.


Before your Exam Appointment

Schedule an Exam Appointment

  • You must reserve a time slot to complete your exam. You can schedule an appointment using the scheduling form linked below. Exam appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Without an appointment, you may not be able to take your exam due to seat availability. 

    For more information on how to reschedule an exam, please click the Reschedule Appointment button below. 

    For more information on how to cancel an exam, please click the Cancel Appointment button below.

  • Students cannot reserve a time slot more than two weeks in advance of the exam window (dates between which the exam can be taken). We recommend registering for and taking the exam before the deadline date as slots can fill quickly and availability is limited. 

    For Example: Exam deadlines during Week 6 will have registration periods beginning in Week 4. 

    Please Note: If a time and date is not appearing in the scheduling software, then there are no open available seats.

At your Exam Appointment

Arrive 15 minutes Prior to your Exam Appointment

  • Exams may not begin later than 15 minutes after your scheduled appointment. 

    If you arrive more than 15 minutes after your exam’s scheduled start time, it will be considered a forfeited appointment and a new appointment will be required.

  • Bring a physical photo ID, DuckID credentials, and DUO authentication device (usually a personal smart phone/tablet)

Bring a photo ID with you to the exam. You may not begin an exam without proper ID. Exams are delivered through Canvas, so you must know your login credentials and have your DUO authentication code ready (i.e. your UOregon email, password, and DUO device). To access your Canvas course, you will need to use a Two-step Login code (DUO) in addition to your Duck ID credentials.


Exam Policies

  • Students must work within the Online Exam Center schedule to complete exams. The exam center will not stay open beyond regular hours.
  • Students must arrive no later than 15 minutes after their scheduled appointment. If students arrive more than 15 minutes after their scheduled appointment, it will be considered a forfeited appointment and a new appointment will be required.
  • Bring a Photo ID with you to the exam.
  • Students must make a reservation for each of their class exams, up to two weeks in advance of the date of the exam. Exam appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. By putting off scheduling until the last moment, students run the risk of losing the opportunity to take the exam.
  • Exam appointments can be made through the use of the Online Exam Center scheduling form.

General Exam Conditions & Policies

  • Phones, smart-devices, or any other internet-capable device will need to be turned off and put away. Students will be asked to remove smart-watches and smart-glasses as well.

  • No talking or leaving the lab while an exam is in progress. This includes bathroom breaks.
