Coastline is committed to academic integrity in order to protect the value of your degree and the transferability of our courses.
Coastline Proctored Exams
Proctors protect academic integrity and the value of your degree by following a set of procedures:
- verify your identity
- provide oversight while you take the exam
- mail your exam back to Coastline
Online exams may require accessing an online proctor service, such as Proctorio, in order to maintain academic integrity.
Proctorio
Proctorio is an automated online proctoring system that may be utilized in some online classes. Check with your instructor to see if this is being used in your class.
This system captures video and movement while you take your exam. This video may be reviewed by your instructor to ensure that no cheating took place. Proctorio also requires an identity check.
Before using Proctorio, there are some basic requirements to follow:
- You must have a basic webcam or built-in camera with a microphone enabled on your laptop or desktop computer.
- Your computer must have an operating system that would support the most current version of Chrome.
- You must have the Chrome browser downloaded to your computer. Don't have it yet? Download Chrome with one click.
- Check the Proctorio Minimum System Requirements to ensure Proctorio will work on your computer.
- You must install the Proctorio Chrome extension.
- You will be required to show a government or school-issued ID after successfully installing the Proctorio extension on your computer so as to confirm your identity. This must be done before accessing assignments that use Proctorio (based on instructor settings).
Proctorio Privacy Concerns
Some students have expressed concerns about being 'watched' or 'monitored' via video. Proctorio recordings are only available to the instructor, and the videos are double encrypted to ensure the data is safe from hackers (per Proctorio). Your instructor is monitoring your online exam in the same way they would if you were sitting in a classroom taking the exam. Your instructor may review random portions of your video briefly to ensure academic integrity. Please know that approved Coastline Administrators may view the video as a response to student complaints/concerns.

Academic Honesty
Proctors provide a service by helping to maintain the academic integrity of our exam processes. As part of the agreement between the Proctor and Coastline, the Proctor will prevent and report any acts of academic dishonesty to the school. Students are expected to follow Coastline's Policies and Regulations on Academic Integrity.
