Applications for sitting exams on-campus
If you are unable to complete your ProctorU exam off-campus due to unstable internet, lack of reliable equipment or other special circumstances, you may request to sit your Proctor exam on-campus.
On-campus capacity for exam sittings is limited and restricted to students who meet the eligibility criteria. Request to sit on-campus based on student preference will not be accommodated. You must have completed the Practice Test in order to be eligible.
Please contact Exams and Progression for further information via exams@griffith.edu.au.
Applications for special consideration or a deferred exam
If you experienced difficulties that you believe impacted your exam, you can apply for Special Consideration.
If you were prevented from starting your exam, you should apply for a Deferred Assessment.
Students who do not complete a Practice Test and experience technical difficulties during their Final Exam may not be eligible for a deferred exam.
Make sure that you keep evidence of technical issues and attach this evidence to your application. This evidence could include verification of loss of internet or electricity from your provider or screenshots of your chat with ProctorU.
Unplanned interruptions during your exam
If someone enters the room, or you need to leave for a bathroom break, ProctorU will note this. Course Convenors will follow up on any unplanned interruptions if they are concerned about any risk to the integrity of the exam.
The ProctorU check says my audio is not working
If you are using Windows 10, there is a known issue where updates can impact your audio settings.
Refer to this Microsoft guide, Fix sound problems in Windows 10 (Microsoft Support).
I use a Mac and heard there are issues using ProctorU. What can I do?
You can successfully use a Mac and the Guardian browser, but there might be some settings you need to adjust. Making these changes before your session will save you time troubleshooting with a ProctorU technician.
