University of Illinois' Proctorio Remote-Proctoring Deployment Reportedly Raised Student Rights Concerns
Beginning in March 2020, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign deployed Proctorio for remote exam proctoring after the COVID-19 shift to online instruction.

UIUC later declined to renew its emergency contract.
