class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS says its certification exams are delivered through Exam Studio, the store and candidate portal where you buy, schedule, and launch the exam. Live proctoring comes from ProctorU, and candidates connect through ProctorU\u2019s Guardian Proctoring Browser. RUCKUS describes this exam as remote proctored, and its certification page says high-stakes exams are remote proctored so you can take them from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic_Exam_Facts\"><\/span>Basic Exam Facts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Item<\/th><th>What the official materials say<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Exam name and code<\/td><td>RUCKUS Certified Network Implementer (RCNI); newer pages list it as RUCKUS Certified Networks (RCN)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Delivery platform<\/td><td>Exam Studio (exam delivery), ProctorU Guardian Proctoring Browser (live proctoring)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Delivery mode<\/td><td>Remote proctored only; no test-center option found<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Number of questions<\/td><td>50 in the 2025 and 2026 study guides; the 2023 and 2024 guides said 60&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Duration<\/td><td>2 hours, counted from the moment the first question appears<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Passing score<\/td><td>64%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Price<\/td><td>$150 USD per attempt<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Scheduling lead time<\/td><td>At least 72 hours in advance<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Check-in window<\/td><td>Not published by RUCKUS; the Start Exam link replaces the countdown on your dashboard at the scheduled time&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Retakes<\/td><td>Up to five within one year: the first with no wait, the second after 14 days, the third to fifth after 30 days each<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Validity<\/td><td>Three years<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Exam Tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;Question counts differ between old and new study guides, and many third-party sites still quote 59 or 60. Download the current guide from RUCKUS the week of your exam and trust that number, not a practice-test site.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pre-Exam_Preparation\"><\/span>Pre-Exam Preparation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS tells you to test your setup before you schedule, not after. Do the equipment test on the same computer, in the same room, at the same time of day as your appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hardware_and_Network_Requirements\"><\/span>Hardware and Network Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS does not publish its own spec sheet. It points you to the ProctorU equipment test, so these are ProctorU\u2019s current minimums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A Windows 10 or later PC, or a Mac running macOS 11.0 or later. Tablets and phones are not supported.<\/li><li>Chromebooks: ProctorU supports ChromeOS only through a browser-extension workflow, while RUCKUS names the Guardian Proctoring Browser. Treat a Chromebook as unsupported.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)<\/li><li>The Guardian Browser installed ahead of time. On a Mac, give it camera, microphone, and screen-recording permission before exam day.<\/li><li>3 Mbps upload and download as the minimum. Mobile hotspots and tethering are discouraged, and a wired connection is recommended.<\/li><li>A webcam of at least 640&#215;480 (the built-in one counts), a working microphone, and speakers. Microphones built into headphones do not count.<\/li><li>8 GB of RAM, a 4-core CPU at 2.4 GHz, a 1366&#215;768 screen, and ports UDP\/TCP 80 and 443 open.<\/li><li>One monitor only. If you use an external display with a closed laptop, mirror it and plug it straight into the laptop, not through a dock.<\/li><li>No virtual machine, no Apple Boot Camp, no remote-control software such as TeamViewer or AnyDesk, and no unlicensed or test-build Windows.<\/li><li>Headphones, earbuds, and headsets are not allowed.<\/li><li>Corporate laptops and VPNs: RUCKUS asks you to use a personal computer if possible and to disconnect from any VPN. It does not ban work networks outright, but a company laptop with locked-down security software is the most common reason an install or screen share fails.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ID_Requirements\"><\/span>ID Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS requires a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver\u2019s license or passport, showing your photo and your name as it appears in Exam Studio. The name field in the RUCKUS Certification Store is where mismatches start, so type your full legal name exactly as printed on the ID you will hold up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS does not require a secondary ID, but ProctorU says a proctor may ask to see an additional form of ID. Keep a second form of ID within reach in case you are asked. The proctor can also ask you to retake the ID photo or show the ID again live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For global candidates, I found no country-specific ID rule from RUCKUS. A passport is the safest choice because RUCKUS names it as an example and it prints your name in a standard format. A national ID card or driver\u2019s license should also work if it has your photo and name.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)&nbsp;RUCKUS\u2019s privacy notice adds that your ID image and face photo are stored by ProctorU for 90 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The RUCKUS document also says that if the personal details you entered at purchase do not exactly match your ID, you can still sit the exam.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)&nbsp;Do not plan around that. The proctor still compares your face, your ID photo, and your name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Exam Tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;If your ID shows your name in a different order, with a middle name, or with accents your keyboard cannot type, fix the Exam Studio profile or email ruckuscerts@RUCKUSNetworks.com&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)&nbsp;before exam day. Sorting out a name problem live, with the proctor waiting, is a bad start.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Testing_Environment_Requirements\"><\/span>Testing Environment Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Sit at a desk or table with your computer on a hard surface. Do not test from a bed, sofa, car, or the floor.<\/li><li>Be alone, with the door closed. If you can, sit with your back to the door.<\/li><li>Avoid rooms with large glass windows or glass walls, such as a glassed-in conference room.<\/li><li>Clear the desk and the area around it of notes, books, calculators, phones, and any other materials.<\/li><li>Put your phone behind you and out of arm\u2019s reach.<\/li><li>Use a well-lit room. Light from behind you or from a window behind your screen makes ID and face photos fail.<\/li><li>Remove non-religious head coverings, and take off wristwatches.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Check-in_Walkthrough\"><\/span>Step-by-Step Check-in Walkthrough<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some details below come from RUCKUS\u2019s \u201cWhat to Expect\u201d document, which was written for an older ProctorU workflow built around a chat application, and some come from ProctorU\u2019s current Guardian process. The 2026 RUCKUS study guide still links that document, but the screens you see may differ.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Buy and schedule the exam in the RUCKUS Certification Store, at least 72 hours ahead. Enter your name as on your ID. The common sticking point is the wrong time zone or AM\/PM. After booking, check that your Exam Studio dashboard shows a countdown to the time you expect.<\/li><li>Install the Guardian Browser and run the ProctorU equipment test. The usual snags are Mac permissions, a firewall blocking the install, and a RAM-hungry laptop. Reboot, close everything else, and rerun the test until it passes from your exam room.<\/li><li>At your scheduled time, log into the Exam Studio Candidate Portal and click Start Exam. RUCKUS does not publish an early check-in window or a late-arrival grace period.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)&nbsp;ProctorU\u2019s own guidance, as copied on a university help site, says to log in two to three minutes early and that the start button disappears about 15 minutes after the scheduled time.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)&nbsp;Do not push either limit. Be at your desk 30 minutes early and click the moment the link appears.<\/li><li>Work through the Guardian pre-check screens: quick tips, welcome screen, camera and microphone selection, the allowed-resources list, and accommodations. If the wrong camera is selected, pick the right one in the device screen. You can change devices later with the Live button in the browser toolbar.<\/li><li>Take your face photo and ID photo. Glare on the ID and a cropped edge are the usual failures. Hold the ID flat, fill the frame, and face the light. Use the Retake button until all four corners and the photo are readable.<\/li><li>Take the self-guided room scan photos if your exam is configured for it. Follow the on-screen prompts, and use Back to redo any photo. If you are not prompted, the live proctor does the scan instead.<\/li><li>Wait in the exam lobby for a live proctor. A chat box appears once the proctor connects. Do not close it. RUCKUS warns that closing the proctor chat application can drop you into a general queue with waits of up to an hour or more. RUCKUS also asks you not to start a support session from the ProctorU Support tab, and not to restart your PC unless told to, because a restart can end the Exam Studio session. The proctor will troubleshoot for at least five minutes before handing you to support.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)<\/li><li>Complete the proctor\u2019s security checks: ID check, a full camera survey of the room, a mirror or phone-in-selfie-mode check of your screen, and a check of wrists and ears. The proctor may ask to take control of your mouse to close apps, disable a second display, turn off screenshots and hotkeys, silence notifications, and disconnect a VPN. Say yes, and let it finish.<\/li><li>Wait for the proctor to enter the passcode in Exam Studio. You then get up to 30 minutes to read the welcome message, do the tutorial, and sign the Candidate Agreement. Read the agreement. It defines what counts as prohibited behavior, and your two-hour clock only starts when the first question is displayed.<\/li><li>Finish the exam, then contact your proctor. RUCKUS says the proctor re-enters the passcode to conclude the session. Close the browser and any chat window afterward to disconnect fully.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Exam Tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;The most expensive mistake in check-in is closing a window you think you are done with. Leave the proctor chat open until the proctor tells you the session is over.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_the_Proctor_Looks_For_During_the_Room_Scan\"><\/span>What the Proctor Looks For During the Room Scan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The proctor is checking that nothing in your room can help you and that nobody else is in it. Expect a slow pan of the camera, and expect to be asked to repeat parts of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>All four walls, floor to ceiling, including corners.<\/li><li>The desk, keyboard, and monitor, and the floor underneath the desk.<\/li><li>Your screen, shown through a mirror or a phone in selfie mode, so the proctor can see what you see.<\/li><li>Notes, books, calculators, phones, sticky notes, and loose paper within reach.<\/li><li>Your wrists, with watches off, and both ears, clear of earbuds.<\/li><li>Your glasses, which must be normal eyewear and not smart or digital glasses.<\/li><li>The door, closed, and any glass wall or large window.<\/li><li>Your monitors: a second display must be disconnected, and the proctor may have you cover it with cloth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rules_During_the_Exam\"><\/span>Rules During the Exam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS uses a two-strike system. Every session is recorded and later reviewed by RUCKUS administrators against the Candidate Agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tier_1_Warning\"><\/span>Tier 1: Warning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS says that if the proctor sees prohibited behavior, you get a warning. ProctorU lists the behaviors it flags during any exam:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Talking or whispering aloud. RUCKUS adds that you must not read questions aloud.<\/li><li>Leaving the camera view. Your face, chin to forehead, must stay in frame.<\/li><li>Looking off-screen when no materials are allowed.<\/li><li>Someone entering your room or talking to you.<\/li><li>Using materials that are not allowed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tier_2_Termination_and_Invalidation\"><\/span>Tier 2: Termination and Invalidation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS says a second observed instance of the prohibited behavior results in the proctor terminating the exam. It also says credentials will not be issued if you are out of compliance, and reviewers can judge that after the exam. That means you can finish all 50 questions and still have the result withheld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS does not publish a list of behaviors that end an exam on the first offense. ProctorU also flags screenshots or photos of the exam, copying and pasting exam content, running a virtual machine, and using a second monitor. Do not test whether any of them is a one-strike offense.\u00a0(confirm on the official page)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rules_on_Breaks_Scratch_Paper_and_Drinks\"><\/span>Rules on Breaks, Scratch Paper, and Drinks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS\u2019s document does not mention breaks, and it says nothing about scratch paper or a whiteboard.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)&nbsp;Its only desk rule is to clear notes and materials. Assume no breaks, no paper, and no pen unless the Candidate Agreement or your proctor says otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Breaks:<\/strong>&nbsp;Plan to sit for the full two hours. ProctorU says that if a break is ever allowed, you tell the proctor before leaving, and leaving camera view may trigger a new room scan.<\/li><li><strong>Drinks:<\/strong>&nbsp;RUCKUS allows drinks but not food. This differs from ProctorU\u2019s general guidance, which has many testing organizations clear drinks off the desk. Follow RUCKUS, but use a clear bottle with a cap and keep it out of the way.<\/li><li><strong>Sections:<\/strong>&nbsp;The exam is split into sections. You can review all questions in a section before moving on, but once you submit a section you cannot return to it.<\/li><li><strong>Talking:<\/strong>&nbsp;Do not read questions aloud, even quietly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Exam Tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;Treat each section submission as final.

The test-center column reflects how test centers generally work across the industry, as with Pearson VUE or PSI exams, and is not a RUCKUS policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Factor<\/th><th>Online proctored (RUCKUS option)<\/th><th>Test center (not found for RCNI)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Availability for this exam<\/td><td>Yes, through Exam Studio and ProctorU<\/td><td>No official option found&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Who supplies the computer<\/td><td>You do<\/td><td>Typically the center does<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Room control<\/td><td>You prepare and prove it<\/td><td>The center prepares it<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Main risk<\/td><td>Technical failures, a long proctor wait, a room that fails the scan<\/td><td>Travel and fixed locations<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Scheduling<\/td><td>At least 72 hours ahead, from home<\/td><td>Depends on center availability<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Online suits you if you have a quiet private room, a personal Windows or Mac computer, and a stable home connection. A test center would suit someone with shared housing, a locked-down work-only laptop, or an unreliable connection. Since RUCKUS offers only the online route, the practical fix for those problems is to borrow a private room and a personal laptop for exam day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exam_Day_Checklist\"><\/span>Exam Day Checklist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Night_Before\"><\/span>The Night Before<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Unplug your second monitor and put it somewhere the proctor will not see it.<\/li><li>Run the ProctorU equipment test again on your exam computer.<\/li><li>Confirm the exam time, time zone, and AM\/PM in your Exam Studio dashboard.<\/li><li>Install pending OS updates now, not tomorrow morning.<\/li><li>Find your ID, check the expiry date, and confirm the name matches your Exam Studio profile.<\/li><li>Clear your desk and take down anything on the walls that looks like a cheat sheet.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"60_Minutes_Before\"><\/span>60 Minutes Before<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Restart your computer and close every program that is not required.<\/li><li>Disconnect any VPN and quit remote-control, messaging, and screen-recording apps.<\/li><li>Plug in power and switch to a wired connection if you can.<\/li><li>Tell the household that you cannot be interrupted for at least two hours.<\/li><li>Set up the mirror or have your phone ready for the screen check.<\/li><li>Take off your watch and remove any head covering that is not religious.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"30_Minutes_Before\"><\/span>30 Minutes Before<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Sit at your desk, with the door closed, and your phone behind you.<\/li><li>Log into the Exam Studio Candidate Portal and look for the countdown.<\/li><li>Have your ID within reach, and a second ID ready if you have one.<\/li><li>Use the bathroom, since there may be no breaks.<\/li><li>Open the Guardian Browser and check the camera and microphone previews.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"During_the_Exam\"><\/span>During the Exam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Keep your face in the frame and your eyes on the screen.<\/li><li>Do not speak, whisper, or read questions aloud.<\/li><li>Do not touch your phone, notes, or a second device.<\/li><li>Submit each section only when you are done with it.<\/li><li>When you finish, message the proctor and stay until the session is concluded.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Connection_and_Check-in_Questions\"><\/span>Connection and Check-in Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4>What happens if my internet drops during the exam?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS does not publish a reconnection policy.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)&nbsp;Reconnect right away, reopen the Guardian Browser, and message your proctor if the chat is still available. If you cannot get back in, email the RUCKUS certifications team with the exact time and a screenshot of any error as soon as you are able to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Can I use my laptop\u2019s built-in webcam?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. ProctorU accepts a built-in or external webcam of at least 640&#215;480 resolution. Make sure it can show your face in good light, and use a mirror or a phone in selfie mode to show your screen to the proctor, as RUCKUS requires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>What if check-in times out or I miss my start time?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS does not state its late policy.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)&nbsp;A copy of ProctorU\u2019s own guidance says that the start button disappears about 15 minutes after the scheduled time and you must book a new slot.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)&nbsp;Whether a missed slot costs you the $150 fee is not stated, so contact the certifications team immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>What if the proctor does not show up?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Wait in the lobby and keep the chat window open. RUCKUS says it can take several minutes for a proctor to begin chatting, and that closing the chat can push you into a queue with waits of an hour or more.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Equipment_and_Rules_Questions\"><\/span>Equipment and Rules Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4>Can I use my work laptop?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>RUCKUS prefers a personal computer and asks you to disconnect from your VPN. A company laptop can work, but you need permission to install the Guardian Browser and grant screen-recording access. Test it long before exam day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Can I wear glasses, a watch, or headphones?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular glasses are fine, but the proctor will check that they are not smart glasses. Take off wristwatches and show both wrists. Earbuds, headphones, and headsets are not allowed, and you will be asked to show that both ears are clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>What if my ID name does not match my Exam Studio name?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fix it before exam day. RUCKUS says a mismatch with the details you entered at purchase will not stop you sitting the exam, but the proctor still checks your ID against your face, so a mismatch can still cause delays.&nbsp;(confirm on the official page)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span>References<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Official_RUCKUS_and_ProctorU_Sources\"><\/span>Official RUCKUS and ProctorU Sources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckusnetworks.com\/resources\/training-and-certifications\/ruckus-certification-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">RUCKUS Certification Program page<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/webresources.vistancenetworks.com\/download\/assets\/RCNI+Exam+Study+Guide\/dfb140b6d7a311f0a05dfa7a03f65a78\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">RUCKUS RCNI\/RCN Exam Study Guide (2026 edition)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/webresources.commscope.com\/download\/assets\/2025RCNIStudyGuideandExamBlueprint.pdf\/ea90965ac62111f0a952c684d68ba3de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">RUCKUS RCNI Study Guide and Exam Blueprint (2025)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commscope.com\/globalassets\/digizuite\/967335-rcni-data-sheet-exam-blueprint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">RUCKUS RCNI Data Sheet and Exam Blueprint (2023)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ruckus-training.s3.amazonaws.com\/RCWA\/RCWA-What-to-expect.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">What to Expect with RUCKUS Certification Exams<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.proctoru.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/9951434736525\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ProctorU: Exam Day, What to Expect (Guardian)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.proctoru.com\/hc\/articles\/24692181239309-Equipment-Requirements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ProctorU: Equipment Requirements<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.proctoru.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360043127892\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ProctorU: What am I allowed and not allowed to do during my exam<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.proctoru.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4408705522829-Unpermitted-Testing-Locations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ProctorU: Unpermitted Testing Locations<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reference-Only_Sources\"><\/span>Reference-Only Sources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.onlinemscs.tufts.edu\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360048848152-ProctorU-What-time-should-I-arrive-for-my-exam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">University-hosted copy of ProctorU\u2019s \u201cWhat time should I arrive for my exam\u201d article<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<div class='sfsi_Sicons' style='width: 100%;
