Set Testing Services as a Test Location In Blackboard

A new test location setting in Blackboard now allows instructors to set Testing Services as a location for students to take their exams, helping you further secure your tests.

Testing Services provides full class testing as well as individual testing accommodations for on-campus exams. Blackboard exams administered by Testing Services should be set up without a password and restricted to a Testing Services location in order to preserve test security. Blackboard makes this process straightforward.

If only a portion of your roster will have their exam administered by Testing Services, you will need to copy the test and utilize groups to restrict only those testing at a Testing Services location.

To restrict a test to only the Testing Services location, go to Assessment Settings, ensure no access code is required, and select UA Testing Services from the Location Restriction drop-down. Click Save.

  The exam will now be restricted to only the Testing Services locations.

Note: Due to limited space, exams administered by Testing Services should have the release conditions set to 8:00 AM the day of the exam in order for Testing Services to accommodate students with extended time and back-to-back classes.
