ILC Final Test Terms of Use

The ILC has implemented a digitized final testing process.

Students taking their examinations online must agree to be proctored throughout the duration of their exam and adhere to specific rules regarding providing proof of identity.

• ILC is committed to addressing the challenge of maintaining exam and institutional integrity within the online space. The digitized test will involve online proctoring. Online Proctoring is the practice of a remote invigilator observing a student’s completion of an exam using specialized software.
• Agreeing to the terms below will allow ProctorU to conduct online proctoring for ILC digitized tests (https://www.proctoru.com/privacy-policy),.
• Recordings will be made and held for 2 years in order to ensure academic integrity is maintained. Biometric information will be held for 7 days before being deleted from Proctor U’s system. All details are listed in the terms below.

Please note you will not be able to take a digitized final test without accepting this policy and the Terms of Service of ProctorU.

Students must have read and signed the Terms of Service of ProctorU below. For students under the age of 18 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must accept on their behalf.

Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of ProctorU Inc.’s (“ProctorU”, “We”, or “Our”) website(s), browser extensions, platforms, applications, and other services (collectively, our “Services”). These Terms also apply to any information, text, audio, video, images, graphics, code, extensions, or other materials created uploaded, downloaded, transferred or otherwise appearing on or connected with the Services when you interact with ProctorU, including recordings of any test sessions (collectively referred to as “Content”).

1. Using ProctorU’s Services

To use our Services, you need compatible hardware, software, and internet access. ProctorU is not responsible for any equipment or network malfunction or service disruption that affects your test session. By accessing or using ProctorU’s Services you agree to comply with and to be bound by these Terms. Do not access or use our Services if you do not agree to these Terms. ProctorU reserves the right to terminate any user or account and/or to suspend or end access to the Services, without notice to you, if it has reason to believe you have violated these Terms or if it has been validly instructed to do so by your Testing Institution.

2. Basic Terms

You are responsible for your use of the Services and for any consequences thereof. The Services are being provided to you by ProctorU for the benefit of your college, university, instructor, school, organization, certification administrator, or other test delivery partner (hereafter, the “Testing Institution”). The Content you submit, post, or display, including all audio and video recordings or images, including any recordings or images of you made by the Services during your test session(s), will be shareable with and viewed by your Testing Institution. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and any applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations. The form and nature of the Services that ProctorU provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you. Additionally, ProctorU may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you without prior notice. As a user of the Services, you are prohibited from photographing, or recording, by video or sound, any part of ProctorU’s Services for any purpose, unless ProctorU has granted you express written permission to do so. You may not remove copies of test questions or test answers, and you may not share or discuss with anyone any of the test questions, test content, or test answers you viewed during your test.

We reserve the right to adjust our fees from time to time, without providing prior notice. The current fee schedule is available through your Testing Institution, and it is fully incorporated herein by reference. The incorporation of the fee schedule, by reference, includes any changes to pricing or availability of choices. Unless your Testing Institution is paying your test session fees directly to us, you are responsible for all fees and costs associated with your use of the Services, including any fees for “premium” services that you select.

3. Privacy

ProctorU’s current Privacy Policy (available here) is expressly incorporated into these Terms by reference. Your use of the Services and any Content that you provide during your interaction with ProctorU is subject to our Privacy Policy, which governs how your information and any Content you provide is collected and forwarded to your Testing Institution.

4. Identity Authentication

By selecting to use the Services, you agree to provide only true and accurate information to authenticate your identity.

5. Connecting to your computer

When you use the Services, ProctorU will remotely connect to your computer in order to monitor your computer screen and premises. As a part of using the Services, you agree to scan your premises using your webcam if or when a proctor request that you do so. The proctor will provide you with reasonable instructions on how to accurately scan your room. You agree to maintain audio and video contact with the proctor during the test session, to enable the Services to record your test session, and to disconnect audio and video contact from the test session once it ends. You authorize us to make all recordings of and any Content from your examination or test session available to your Testing Institution.

If you exhibit unacceptable behavior during your test session, ProctorU reserves the right to deny service and report your actions to your Testing Institution. By choosing to use ProctorU’s services, you understand and acknowledge that the proctor may immediately terminate your test session if the proctor experiences or observes:

1. Anything that would require termination based on the agreement between your Testing Institution and ProctorU; or

2. Any conduct that the proctor deems vulgar, offensive, pornographic, obscene, abusive, criminal, or otherwise inappropriate.

When you choose to use the Services, you grant the proctor the right to use whatever method ProctorU makes available to recommend that your examination or test be disqualified if or when the proctor detects suspicious or questionable action(s) during the test session.

6. Accounts and Passwords

In order to use the Services, you may be required to register with ProctorU and to create an account. You will receive account confirmation through the email address you provide during registration.

When you create your account, you are agreeing to: (i) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself and (ii) maintain and promptly update your registration information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. ProctorU, in its sole discretion, has the right to immediately suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof) if:

1. You provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete; or
2. ProctorU has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete; or
3. You provide erroneous information.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, you must promptly change your password and immediately notify us by contacting sending an email to [email protected].

7. Content

You are solely responsible for any Content that you originate and transmits while using the Services. Because ProctorU does not control user-generated Content transmitted via the Services, we cannot take responsibility for such Content. By submitting, transferring, posting, or displaying Content on or through the Services, you give ProctorU permission to use, transmit, display, and distribute such Content to your Testing Institution. You are responsible for how you use the Services, any Content you provide, and any consequences thereof, including the disqualification of your test by your Testing Institution.

ProctorU’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed as a waiver of its right to the benefits associated with such right(s) or provision(s). No waiver by ProctorU of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition.

In the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any applicable law, rule, order, or regulation of any government, or by the final determination of any state or federal court, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, and shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision in these Terms.
