Proctor U Proctor U is a live online proctoring service that allows Tri-C students to take their

exams from the comfort of home. Proctor U is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Online Students get their first two tests/ quizzes or one final exam.***Should additional Proctoring be needed, Additional costs are the responsibility of the student and are posted in Blackboard and K-Web.

Why Mobile?

Dr. Johnson has said he would like to see a 24% online student population at Tri-C.

As a college, Tri-C has made great strides in making our student catalog and website mobile friendly over the last several years.

While continuing to recommend to our online and blended student population accessing content through a desktop computer, the proliferation of mobile devices can no longer be ignored and Tri-C must catch up with other institutions and make online content more accessible to the student population as a whole.

If we do not start to “engineer student success into our online student content” we are knowingly acting as a barrier to our students.

Accessibility to students and faculty through any common mobile device
