Allow Opting Out of Proctored Exams#

Tags: educator how-to

When a proctored exam opens, by default, verified learners must take the exam with proctoring.

Note

If a learner opts to take an exam without proctoring, the exam will not be timed either. In effect, learners who opt out of proctoring will have unlimited time to complete the exam and could return to problem sets at any time. You can reduce the ability to view the exam by selecting a due date for the exam.

To enable the option for learners to opt out of proctored exams for a course, follow these steps.

  1. In Studio, select Settings, then select Proctored Exam Settings.

  2. Locate the Allow Opting Out of Proctored Exams policy key. The default value is No, which requires Verified and Master’s learners to take proctored exams with proctoring.

  3. Change the value of the setting to Yes.

  4. Select Submit.
