Apply

Those who apply by the deadline will receive a link by 5 p.m. Pacific Time on Friday, October 16, 2020, for a practice quiz. This practice quiz will allow you to test your hardware in the days leading up to the official proctored essay. It will also give you a sense of how Proctorio limits your computer activity during the essay (e.g., no copy and paste, no additional open browser windows, etc.).

When you begin the practice and official exams, Proctorio will ask you to show proof of ID. Please have this with you when you start the essay (see minimum requirements). During the exam, you may also use scratch paper when solving the math problems.

Please note that, while a camera and microphone are required, no one will watch you complete the exam.

You can complete the proctored essay between midnight and 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, October 21, 2020. You will have one hour to complete the essay; please give yourself enough time before the deadline. If you start the proctored essay within the hour leading up to the deadline, you will only have until the deadline to complete it.

Before the essay date, please contact Student and Academic Services (asknursing@uw.edu, 206.543.8736).

During the essay, Proctorio support is available to test takers via Live Chat and Email. Visit https://proctorio.com/support for information.
