Important Points to Remember:<\/strong> Only use D2L to set up your exam. Do not<\/span> go to the ProctorU website to set up your exam<\/strong>. MTSU uses the Record+ option only<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Students no longer have to schedule a quiz. Students go into ProctorU through D2L not<\/span> the ProctorU website. Students take your quiz at any time within the window you have set up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Updates to your Quiz should be done in D2L, not<\/span> ProctorU. Updates to your quiz take 24 hours to appear in ProctorU.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. You must give your quiz a password for the quiz to be proctored in ProctorU.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
