Effective January 15, 2025

Here are latest rules regarding the remote proctor process for taking the CSLP Exam. Please familiarize yourself with these rules to avoid delays when signing on to the proctor system. If you have question, you may ask the proctor after logging on to the system, and BEFORE starting the test. The proctor will confirm when you are ready.

Additional Changes

We’re also introducing additional features to secure the integrity of the exam and testing process:

1. Two-camera setup:

   • A mobile camera for a side view of the student, workspace, and computer.

   • A webcam for a front-facing view, capturing the tester and background.

2. Session recording:

   • Recordings are securely stored on MonitorEDU’s drive for 90 days before being permanently deleted.

   • To ensure privacy, recordings are not linked to personal data, only to the unique Google Meet code used for the session.
