Questions we get during office hours
- Does it turn my work in for me?
- Only if you ask, one assignment at a time. Proctor never submits anything unless you turn on Submit from Proctor and press Submit for that assignment. Otherwise it gets the work ready and opens the assignment so you can review it and turn it in yourself. Got a few ready? Turn in everything in My Locker goes through them one at a time: it opens your school's page for each one, with the file downloaded or the text copied, and you press Submit yourself. Submit from Proctor works with Canvas only, is off until you turn it on, and shows exactly what will be sent before you press Submit.
- Can I skip approving each one?
- Yes. Turn on auto-approve in Settings, and finished work that passes grading skips the approval step and goes straight to Ready to turn in. Settings shows whether it's on (some accounts start with it on), and you can turn it off any time. It doesn't submit anything: you're still responsible for reading the work before you turn it in.
- What can it see?
- Your courses, assignments, files, and your own submissions and grades. It never posts or messages anyone, and it never submits anything unless you turn on Submit from Proctor and press Submit for that assignment. Apart from that one submission, it only sends read requests. A Canvas token could do more; Proctor doesn't use it for anything else.
- Where does my data go?
- Your account, your homework and your school connections are stored on Proctor's servers. To do the work, homework text and files are sent to AI models from an outside provider. School tokens are stored encrypted. The Privacy Policy names the provider and has the details.
- Does it keep working when my laptop is closed?
- Yes. Syncing and the teachers run on Proctor's servers, so new homework comes in and gets started while you're away. Finished work waits in My Locker for you.
- Does everyone need their own account?
- Yes. Each person signs up with their own email. Classes, homework, connections and AI spend stay separate, and nobody sees anyone else's.
- Do I pay anything right now?
- No. Checkout isn't open yet: every account is free, nobody is charged, and plan limits don't apply yet.
- How do I delete my account?
- In the portal, open Settings › Account › Delete account. It removes your classes, homework, uploads and connections, ends Proctor's access to Google Classroom and Canvas, and can't be undone. Only a running total of what your email address spent on Proctor's AI is kept, so the AI spending cap can't be reset. Nothing on Canvas, Classroom or Veracross changes. More in the Privacy Policy.
- What if my school blocks Canvas tokens?
- Use your Canvas calendar feed instead. Assignments and due dates still come in; you start them with one click, because a feed can't tell quizzes from homework, and it can't see turned-in work or grades.
Is there a Proctor app for my phone?
Not yet, but it's coming to the App Store and Google Play. Until then, Proctor works in any browser, with nothing to install.
- App Store coming soon
- Google Play coming soon
