Welcome to ProctrMe. This Academic Integrity Policy outlines the expectations and standards required of all users taking examinations through our platform. Maintaining academic honesty is fundamental to the evaluation process.
By undertaking an assessment on the ProctrMe platform, you agree to submit only your original work. You agree not to give or receive any unauthorized assistance during the assessment.
The following actions are strictly prohibited and will be logged as severe violations:
The ProctrMe platform employs continuous monitoring, including but not limited to:
Any violation detected by the system is instantly logged and reported to the examining institution. The institution reserves the right to invalidate exam results and apply disciplinary action based on these logs.
It is your responsibility to ensure you are testing in a secure, uninterrupted environment. You must close all background applications, communication tools, and recording software prior to initializing the exam session.
A large share of the events flagged during online examinations are not attempts to cheat. They are ordinary interruptions in an ordinary room: a notification stealing focus, a background application updating itself, a family member opening a door. These events land in the same log as deliberate misconduct, and while a reviewer can usually tell the difference, you save yourself an awkward conversation by removing the causes in advance.
Before you begin, we recommend that you:
This point deserves emphasis because it is widely misunderstood. A flag raised by the system is a record that something happened at a particular moment. It is not a finding that you cheated, and the platform does not produce a cheating score, a probability, or a recommendation. A three-second focus change and a four-minute absence from the exam window appear in the log as different events precisely so that a human reviewer can distinguish between them.
Institutions using ProctrMe are expected to review flagged sessions individually before taking any action, and to give candidates an opportunity to explain what happened. Treating an automated flag as proof of misconduct is a misuse of the tool. If you are told that a flag alone has decided your result, you are entitled to ask your institution what its review process is.
If you witness or become aware of misconduct affecting an assessment you have sat, report it to your institution rather than to us — they hold the misconduct process and the authority to act. If you believe the platform itself behaved incorrectly during your session, such as flagging an event that did not occur or ending a session unexpectedly, contact your invigilator immediately and, where possible, note the time so the session log can be checked against it.
We also welcome reports of security weaknesses in the platform. If you discover a way to bypass an integrity control, tell us at contact@proctrme.tech instead of using it. Reports made in good faith will not result in action against you.
Appeals against an examination outcome are handled entirely by the institution that set the exam. ProctrMe does not overturn results, adjust grades, or adjudicate misconduct findings, and we will not do so on request from either a candidate or an institution. What we will do, when asked by the institution, is help interpret a session record accurately so that the appeal is decided on a correct reading of the evidence.
Candidates who wish to see the session data held about them should contact their institution first, since the institution is the data controller. Our privacy policy explains the routes available if that is not resolved.
This policy describes conduct expectations on the ProctrMe platform. It does not replace the academic regulations of the institution setting your examination. Where your institution's rules are stricter — for instance, prohibiting materials this policy does not mention — their rules apply. Where you are unsure whether something is permitted in a particular exam, the safe assumption is that it is not, and the correct step is to ask the invigilator before the session begins rather than during it.
