Extending ProctorU Live+ Exam Dates for Individual Students - Instructor Steps

If a student needs to take a ProctorU Live+ exam outside the regular exam window (such as for a make-up exam), a single user exam can be created in ProctorU.  This will allow the student to schedule a time to take the exam with ProctorU, without other students in the course being able to schedule during that time.  Please note that for courses using the ProctorU Auto with Review+ option, you do not need to create a single user exam.  Instead, you can simply add an exception in the Blackboard test for the student who needs an extended exam window.

  1. Within Blackboard, access the course where the exam is posted. Check to make sure you have set an exception for the student in your Blackboard exam settings.
  2. In the Course Menu, select Tools and then select ProctorU to log in.
  3. As long as the exam has already been activated, you can create a single user exam from the existing exam.
