• Cost: If you see a cost, that cost is in addition to any partnership your institution might have on its own with Proctorio. Be aware that your students will be required to pay this one-time fee when they start the first proctored assignment. We strongly encourage you to talk with your students about all fees and proctoring use in advance. If you worked with your McGraw Hill rep to bundle in the Plus fee, you will see a $0 cost even if selecting Plus functions. If you do see a $17.50 notice despite having bundled, please stop, and contact your McGraw Hill rep.
