How do I set up a proctored quiz in my Canvas course?

The UNC-Charlotte DE Testing Center is only for students enrolled in a Distance Education program. Faculty teaching a non-DE program course can take advantage of the UNC Online Proctoring Network

UNC Online Proctoring Network

The process provides faculty with direct secure access to the UNC Proctoring Network for uploading their exams for completion by their students. Non-DE students have access to an array of UNC approved proctors in the Charlotte area as well as across the globe. You can request up to three computer or paper-based proctored exams, including final exams or written assignments, for each online course.  Release Exam Details Only at least one week prior to the start of the semester

ProctorU Live Online

In addition to the exam administration process, the University of North Carolina System and the UNC Online Proctoring Network now offers online students the option to have their exams proctored at their home or workplace via the services of ProctorU.  ProctorU is a live online proctoring service that allows exam takers to complete their assessment at home while insuring the integrity of the exam for the institution
