If a student is not rosterd in the system, reach out to your Campus Testing Coordinator.

Remember to bookmark the website for easy access.

You can share an assessment in Edit mode with your planning team to collaborate on before Publishing.

We recommend using an Unproctored Session so students may complete within a timeframe at their own pace.

We should always be STUDENT DRIVEN and DATA INFORMED.
