Examity

Examity is an assisted, online, proctoring service that allows exam takers to complete assessments at home with security measures designed to ensure academic integrity.

DELTA Testing Services certifies Examity to administer exams for students taking fully-digital exams. At the instructor’s discretion, Examity may be available as a student elective option for off-campus testing. Students should confirm with their instructor that Examity is allowed prior to submitting a request.

*Students are responsible for the fees associated with this service*

How do I set up Examity

  • Students must first submit an Off-Campus Proctoring Request, selecting Examity as the proctor from the dropdown.
  • DELTA Testing Services will correspond with the student via email when exams can be scheduled or in the event that Examity is not a viable option for the course.
  • Once approved, students will also receive an email from Examity with further instructions. Students may need to check their spam folder.
    • The process for approving Examity requests may take up to 3 days.
  • Please reference the Examity Quick Guide for more detailed information.

What does it cost?

The cost of taking an exam with Examity varies based on the duration of the exam. Students pay Examity directly for the proctoring service.

The following exam appointment fees apply to NC State University exams:

First hourEach additional hour
$12.00*$7.00

*Any schedule changes (including cancellations) by students within 24 hours of an examination will result in a $3.00 charge per occurrence. A $5.00 payment will be required for any incomplete or no-shows for live proctoring services. Refunds are handled through Examity.

Assisted Online Proctoring is a real-time process during which a proctor, who is not in the same location as the test taker and is using technology to observe a test event, is assisted by artificial intelligence, algorithmic software, or other technologies during the test event.  For example, the proctor may use a webcam and microphone to observe or supervise a test event as well as artificial intelligence software to provide an alert in the event an irregularity is detected.

Students who receive accommodations through the Disability Resource Office must submit the DELTA Accommodation Request Form prior to scheduling their appointments with Examity. Please verify your dates, times, and any extended time accommodation on your LMS (Moodle) page. You will not see any additional time when you make your exam appointment but it will be listed when you log in to start your exam.

  • Not all instructors permit the use of an online proctor.
  • You should set up your profile before your exam window opens.
  • Remember all testing times in the LMS are set as Eastern Standard Time. Remember to set your time zone in Examity.
  • Try a practice exam to make sure you know how to access the exam prior to the graded assessment.
  • Once the exam window opens, you can log in at your scheduled appointment time. 
  • Students who schedule or change their appointment late (within 24 hrs of an examination period) will result in an additional fee. No-shows/incomplete exams will also result in additional fees. 
  • The exam can be taken online at your convenience, at a specified date and time within your instructor’s exam window. 
  • Students are expected to follow all Examity policies regarding exam submission and assessment integrity, as well as the Student Code of Conduct. Incidents are reported to DELTA and the Instructor by Examity.

Examity offers technical support all day, every day. If something goes wrong either before or during an exam, test-takers can connect with their support team by email, phone, or live chat.

  • DELTA Testing Services will correspond with the student via email notification when exams can be scheduled or in the event that Examity is not a viable option for the course.
  • Once approved, students will also receive an email from Examity with further instructions. The e-mail should arrive within 15 minutes, but students may need to check their spam folder.
  • Please reference the Examity Quick Guide for more detailed information.

If your system does not pass any of the checks, contact Examity Support via email at support@examity.com or by phone at 855-392-6489 (press 1).

This may occur for two reasons. Either your instructor has indicated to DELTA that the course may not use Examity or that the exam delivery for your course is not completely online.  

If your request is denied, you will be required to find another suitable remote proctor who meets all standards and guidelines or you can reach out to your instructor.  Please refer to our pre-approved proctor map for a list of possible proctors in your area, and let us know if you have any questions.
