Case Study: Columbia College prevents financial aid fraud with ProctorU (Meazure Learning)

Columbia College avoids nearly $6 million in financial aid fraud with ProctorU

Columbia College faced the growing challenge of financial aid fraud, a significant problem for online education programs. To address this, they partnered with the vendor Meazure Learning (formerly ProctorU) to implement its test-taker authentication and live online proctoring service.

The solution from Meazure Learning used a multilayered authentication process to verify student identities, including ID checks, keystroke biometrics, and challenge questions. This approach had a measurable impact, preventing nearly $6 million in financial aid from being disbursed to fraudsters. The college stated that the investment in Meazure Learning's services was minor compared to the substantial savings achieved.
