YuJa Verity allows instructors to create and administer proctored assessments to students, thereby safeguarding the integrity of assessments taken in their Learning Management System. To enable Verity for Quizzes in Canvas, follow the steps outlined below.
Setting Up a Proctored Quiz
Instructors have the option to require students to utilize Verity for any quiz. Please note: to enable YuJa Verity for new quizzes, a quiz must first be created before enabling Verity.
- Before creating a proctored quiz, navigate to your course and select Verity from the left-side course menu to authenticate yourself. Please note: If you cannot find the Verity link, please contact your institution admin to ensure Verity has been enabled for the course.
- In the User Introduction tab, to authenticate yourself, please follow the steps or watch our dedicated video. You'll be authenticated once steps 1, 2, and 3 are complete.
- Next, access the Quizzes tab and click + Quiz.
- Under Quiz Restrictions, enable YuJa Verity for Test Proctoring. Verity will automatically create an access code that will be applied once students access the quiz. Please note: this feature is not yet available for Canvas New Quizzes.
- Click Edit to access proctor settings for Verity.
- Select the Proctoring Mode you wish to enable.
- Automated Proctoring: Offers essential proctoring features through the Verity browser extension within compatible browsers. This mode may also be used within the Lockdown App.
- Lockdown App: Offers additional security features that can be applied to safeguard the integrity of quizzes.
- Next, under Proctor Settings, select which of the following features you would like enabled.
- Record Video: Record the student's quiz environment through their webcam.

- Live Proctoring: Allow instructors and proctors to monitor students through a live feed.
- If Lockdown App is selected, you'll have access to additional security features that can be applied.

- Record Keyboard: Records all keyboard inputs during the quiz.

- Next, if necessary, you can allow individual students to access the quiz without Verity. These students will NOT be monitored when taking the quiz. To learn how to use this feature, please visit our support guide on Creating an Exempted Student List.
- If Disable New Tab or Close Open Tab were selected from the proctor Settings, you can list URLs for students to access specific websites. Check, Would you like to include URL links that students can open in a separate tab during a quiz?
