Math Placement Exam Proctoring

Proctoring Options

The University of Wyoming uses ALEKS PPL for their Math Placement Exam and starting August 14, 2019, requires these exams to be proctored. A student may come to one of the on-campus proctoring sessions at no cost or they may use the online proctoring system, Honorlock, that is integrated into ALEKS for a cost of $10 per exam attempt. On-campus proctoring is only available at certain times and locations, while Honorlock proctoring is available 24/7. Please see detailed information about each option below.

Honorlock Proctoring-$10

The ALEKS system defaults to this proctoring option for both the initial assessment and the 4 retakes. If you choose to take the exam proctored on campus, the attendant will disable it for you. This system requires you to use a chrome browser, download the Honorlock extension and have a working webcam and microphone. Please see the FAQ below as well as Honorlock's quickstart and guidelines for more information.

On Campus Proctoring-no fee

Fall and Spring Semester we will have established proctoring dates. They will usually be in 3 hour time blocks, although students will still only have 2 hours to finish the exam. The time block will not be extended if a student shows up when there is less than 2 hours left and the proctor may cancel the session if no one arrives within the first hour and fifteen minutes.

You must present valid ID. Pencils and scratch paper will be provided. Calculators are not allowed. You do not have to sign up for these sessions, they are first come, first served. Please note-you will still have to purchase the ALEKS PPL test pack for $15-please see the Math Placement Access and Instructions page for more details.

Upcoming on campus proctoring dates:

All sessions will be held in EN 2106 (main engineering building)

If there are no test takers during the first hour and fifteen minutes the proctor will leave and the remainder of the session will be canceled. If you plan to arrive after the first hour has passed, please email Glory Taylor, gtaylo13@uwyo.edu, so she can alert the proctor that there will be a late arrival.
