Intro Text

If your course used full exam support in the past, we replicated previous exam requests for you to update or delete, as needed.

We copy forward exam requests from previous semesters

If the Online or Hybrid course you are teaching had online proctored exams in the past we replicated exam requests from the previous like semester (i.e. spring to spring, summer to summer, etc.). When you open the Proctored Exams Portal in ICON you will see the copied exams with a "replicated" status. 

Please review replicated exams and update the details for the current semester. 

  • If you want continued exam support, add the exam window for the current semester and make any necessary updates to the other fields (i.e. exam duration, materials allowed, etc.). 
  • If you do not want proctored online exams for the upcoming semester please delete the replicated exams.
