If you have questions, contact Holly Cervin, Testing Center Manager, at 907-455-2080.
RegisterBlast Professor Portal
As faculty, you are able to access the RegisterBlast Professor Portal in each of your course shells located in Canvas. Using RegisterBlast, you can submit your exams and can review the completed exams from your students. Click the portal button below for helpful instructions.
Make-up Exams
Make-up exams are for eCampus-supported courses only. Instructors need to send approval ahead of time with the date range that a student can take an exam.
Virtual Proctoring
We encourage the use of Honorlock for virtual proctoring in computer-based Canvas exams. Honorlock integrates seamlessly with Canvas, providing a streamlined experience for students. It offers a more efficient and secure solution compared to in-person proctoring, where consistently viewing each student’s screen is not possible. Many students prefer taking exams remotely, and Honorlock has proven more effective in maintaining academic integrity than our previous vendor.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Honorlock is only for online exams.
- There is a $9 fee per exam for students, with a maximum of $18 per course per semester.
- It’s convenient, easy to use, and requires a stable internet connection.
- Instructors are responsible for setting up Honorlock in their online courses. eCampus does not set it up, make changes, or have access to your Honorlock setup.
Testing Center Rules and Procedures
- We support students by providing a quiet space to take their proctored exams.
- We do not allow cell phones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches or any personal electronic devices while a student takes an exam.
- Students are responsible for monitoring the time they’ve spent on an exam. We do track how much time students have used if the instructor has specified a time limit, but we do not warn students when they go over the allotted time for an exam.
- Students are not able to use their own pencil or pen. They will be required to use what we provide.
- Students should limit bringing additional belongings into the testing center. There are lockers available if needed, but they are small.
- We immediately notify the instructor if academic dishonesty is suspected.
