WGU Objective Assessments are online exams used to measure competency in course outcomes. WGU’s assessment materials describe multiple assessment types across programs, including objective exams, papers, projects, assignments, and essays.
WGU public materials say online proctoring and webcam technology allow students to test from home or office while maintaining testing standards. WGU knowledge-base materials state that students use Start Exam in the Assessment Center during the scheduled time and that online proctoring is required for Objective Assessments in a secure environment.
Current WGU catalog technology requirements list Guardian Browser for WGU-proctored online objective assessments and an external webcam. Students should also test microphone, speakers, internet connection, power, browser updates, and any platform checks shown before launch.
WGU Academy materials still describe Examity for objective exams. Meazure Learning acquired Examity on September 1, 2023, and current ProctorU/Guardian Browser services are under Meazure. Students should follow the current Assessment Center instructions rather than relying on older platform names.
