Update - February 2026
SmarterProctoring has identified a technical issue with their recent Version 3 update. As of February 2026, they have temporarily moved MATC to SmarterProctoring Version 2 to ensure a stable test proctoring experience. They anticipate that an improved Version 3 release will become available within 1-2 weeks.
For Instructors: No action is needed. No downtime occurred, and no changes to exam settings are necessary.
For Students: They will see a notice within the SmarterProctoring dashboard. While the interface may look slightly different, the testing process remains the same. See the Taking Tests with SmarterProctoring Video for an overview of the test-taking process in Version 2.
