Computer Examination Policy Statement

Students enrolled in specified courses may elect to take their midterm and final examinations using their personal laptop computers.

Students should be aware that they are solely responsible for any technical problem that may arise during an examination, and no exam relief or additional time will be granted for malfunctioning equipment, such as software problems, hardware problems, loss of power, etc. No technical assistance will be provided once the exam has begun. In the event of any malfunction, students should complete the remainder of the examination in handwriting using standard bluebooks. Students should not leave the room during the exam to seek assistance. Examplify automatically backs up work every minute; therefore, answers written prior to the malfunction should be recoverable from the computer’s hard drive.

Examplify can be used on a Windows or Mac operating system.

Examplify cannot be run within virtualized environments or environments that require persistent network (local or otherwise) connections during secure exams. This includes, but is not limited to, VMWare, Parallels, Citrix workspace, Virtual Disks, Streamed images, etc.
