Unintegrated

If your institution requires proctoring for work completed outside of an integrated learning management system or customer test delivery engine, ProctorFree offers a web portal for users to log in and get started with ProctorFree.

The login portal can be located at https://exam.proctorfree.com/. Users who log in through the web portal will also receive an Account Setup Email from ProctorFree when the institution creates their account.

If you are not able to set up your account within 24 hours of receiving the setup email, you can request a new one by utilizing the Forgot Password link on the login page.

After logging in, users will be redirected to their institution's exam delivery platform; an institution-specific login may be required to access the desired content.

Custom Test Delivery Engine (API)

Some institutions may build our API directly into their test delivery or user portals. Methods for accessing ProctorFree through your institution's custom test delivery engine may vary.

Unlike our standard LMS integrations, API connections are uniquely built for each institution.
If you are not sure of the correct process to get started with ProctorFree, please contact us through the Live Chat in the bottom right-hand corner of any ProctorFree webpage or contact your institution's administrator.
