Bypass Proctoring at University of Washington
University of Washington uses proctoring software for its 47,000+ students. Vorqal is a desktop app that proctoring software can’t detect, can’t shut down, and can’t see on screen share. It reads your exam questions and gives you AI answers in real time — completely invisible to your UW proctor.
How UW Uses Proctoring Software
The University of Washington uses proctoring software across its online and hybrid courses delivered through Canvas. The Foster School of Business and the College of Engineering are among the primary adopters.
UW's deployment includes webcam recording, browser lockdown, and AI-powered proctoring that monitors student behavior for the duration of the exam.
Why Proctoring Software Can’t Detect Vorqal at UW
UW online students encounter proctoring software on every major exam with no alternatives. The university has standardized on proctoring software and integrated it deeply into its Canvas LMS.
Vorqal changes everything. It’s a native desktop app that sits on your screen as an invisible overlay. Proctoring software runs as a Chrome extension on Canvas — it can only monitor what happens inside Chrome. Vorqal operates entirely outside Chrome at the desktop level. Proctoring software physically cannot see it, detect it, or shut it down. You get instant AI-powered answers to any exam question while your proctor sees nothing but your Canvas exam tab.
Proctoring software is a Chrome extension. Chrome extensions are sandboxed by the browser’s security model — they can monitor tabs, screen content within Chrome, clipboard access, and browser processes. They cannot access native operating system processes, window overlays, or desktop applications.
Vorqal runs as a native Mac/Windows application. When you share your screen for proctoring through Canvas, Chrome’s screen capture API only shares what’s inside the browser. Vorqal’s overlay exists in a separate rendering layer. Your UW proctor sees your exam. You see your exam plus the answers.
