Secure assessments in your computer labs, without the IT workload

Lab computers are either locked down with generic exam accounts, or left open with AI one tab away. Schoolyear takes assessment security off your plate, and educators set what each exam allows.

Trusted by institutions worldwide

"With Schoolyear, students can use bookkeeping software, visit the exam site, open and fill in an Excel file, and then write a report about it in Word. All in a secured session, without access to AI or outside resources."

"The teachers are satisfied with the BYOD setup for their Moodle exams. Schoolyear saves us money in the sense that we do not have to have so many computer rooms anymore."

"We had cases with our previous proctoring setup where we needed to look into whether we were dealing with a cheating case or not. The moment that you're conducting exams in Schoolyear, that is reduced heavily. This is saving us a lot of time."

"We can secure exams proactively instead of after the fact. This creates calm for students, clarity for teachers, and less hassle with the e-invigilators you no longer need."

"Schoolyear makes it possible to do skills assessments with the use of extra applications, like Rstudio, Excel and Matlab. Before, this was only possible with managed computers."

"We wanted to introduce safe and robust digital testing on campus. However, no combination of exam rooms had 800+ computers available at the same time. Schoolyear was the perfect and robust solution that we were looking for, as this allowed us to use the laptops of the students in regular exam rooms."

"We sought a flexible solution for fraud prevention during exams on students' own laptops. Schoolyear allows us to use our educational spaces more flexibly and reduce the need for fixed PC rooms."

"Before the introduction of the Schoolyear, lots of eyes were needed to make sure students didn’t use search engines, chat apps, notes, or email."

Why computer labs are hard to secure for assessments

Open by default

A standard lab desktop gives students the internet, AI assistants, messaging apps and their network drives.

A manual job every exam period

Setting up exam accounts, locking down the lab, and undoing it all afterwards.

Lockdowns still leave gaps

A URL whitelist opens the whole LMS. Allowing Office 365 leaves students’ OneDrive notes and Copilot open.

Secure every assessment, without the manual work

No more exam accounts

No generic exam logins with weak passwords or compliance risk. Students just use their regular institutional account.

Educators in control

Per assessment, educators choose which websites, files and apps students can use. Everything else stays blocked.

Scale beyond your lab seats

Add students’ own laptops when your labs are full. Every assessment is secured the same way on both.

Their usual login, secured at system level

Students sign in with their institutional account and MFA, as on any other day. Schoolyear secures that session at system level. No generic accounts, no shared passwords, no compliance gaps.

Every assessment, its own restrictions

Educators choose the websites, files and apps for each assessment themselves. A case website and Excel for one, a dataset and Visual Studio Code for the next, without IT changing a single profile.

Scale with student-owned devices

Exam accounts only work on lab computers. Schoolyear also works on students’ own laptops, with the same restrictions per assessment. Need more seats? Students simply bring their own.

Compatible with your OS

Don't just take our word for it

"With Schoolyear, the involvement of IT and related costs of overhead now has been reduced to almost nothing. Our teachers are back in control of their secure digital exams."
