## Getting Started

Hello there! You're lucky enough to use Proctorio in this course to take your online exams. With Proctorio, there is no need to schedule exams in advance; take them wherever and whenever you want!

Proctorio isn't a creepy person staring at you through a webcam. Instead it's a system of computers that keep an eye on you while you take the test. Computers are great because they are unbiased and don't mind working long hours.

Feel comfortable taking your exams at home and even in your pajamas. Only your professor and school admins have access to recordings. Yes, you are being recorded, so try not to do anything embarrassing.

Last of all, relax! Proctorio isn't designed to add stress. Our wonderful support staff is here 24/7 to help you.

Good luck on your exams!!

Team Proctorio

## Getting Set Up

### Installing Google Chrome

When you're ready to set up a proctored exam you will need to use Google Chrome. Chrome is fast, secure, and works on any computer - best of all it is free!

To install Chrome on your computer please go to Google Chrome's site. Once Chrome has downloaded you'll need to use it to access your exams.

Do not use Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.

### Installing the Proctorio Extension

Proctorio also requires a small app that needs to be added to Chrome. You only need to do this once.
It takes less than 30 seconds, please go to Proctorio's site to do this.

## Help and Support

Proctorio loves to make it easy to get instant help and support. The fastest and easiest way to contact support is using "the shield" icon. The shield is only present on quiz pages after you install the extension.
