How to Proctor Final Exams Online for Accessibility Compliance
Before sending the exam invite, apply the student's approved accommodation (extended time, additional breaks, or assistive technology allowances) to the exam template; Neuroxa's identity check, environment lockdown, and behavior tracking then run on that adjusted schedule so accommodated students are not penalized for using time or tools they're entitled to.
Proctoring signal comparison
| Signal | What it checks | Setup time | What's monitored |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identity check | Government ID or student/employee ID scan matched to a live face capture before the session starts | ~1 minute | Face match, ID document authenticity, name match against roster |
| Environment lockdown | Browser lockdown (blocks tab switching, copy-paste, new windows) and full-screen enforcement | ~1-2 minutes | Active window, screen content, secondary display/device presence |
| Behavior & gaze tracking | Continuous webcam analysis for gaze-off-screen, face absence, and multiple-person detection; flag thresholds and timing adjust to the student's approved accommodation | Runs automatically once started | Eye movement, head pose, audio/noise spikes, person count |
| Trust report | Post-session summary flags anomalies with timestamps for human review rather than auto-failing candidates | Delivered after submission | Consolidated flags across identity, environment, and behavior signals |
Frequently asked questions
How are accommodated students set up differently from other students?
Their exam template carries the approved accommodation (such as extended time), and the session's timers and thresholds follow that adjusted plan instead of the standard exam settings.
Does using assistive technology during the exam trigger extra flags?
Environment lockdown rules can be configured per student so approved assistive tools are excluded from being flagged as unauthorized applications.
Can disability services staff review the trust report separately from faculty?
Institutions can designate who reviews trust reports, which commonly includes disability services staff for accommodated exams.
Is there documentation of accommodations applied for compliance records?
The exam template and trust report together show which accommodation settings were active for a given student's session, supporting an institution's own compliance recordkeeping.
