EXAMINATION INFORMATION

Examplify/ExamSoft

ExamSoft / Examplify

ExamSoft is the company that creates the examination application Examplify. Examplify is special software that allows students to type examinations on personal laptops in a secure and encrypted word processing environment. It prevents the use of other computer programs installed on a student’s laptop; students are unable to access the Internet, computerized notes, documents, outlines or other materials during the exam. If students are permitted to bring notes in to the examination they must print the notes in advance. Any attempt to access other computer files or programs during the examination will be logged and reported to the Assistant Dean for Academic Services. A laptop power cord is required for Examplify. Because of the processes occurring while using Examplify, laptop batteries may not provide sufficient power. Students who do not have a power cord will not be able to use Examplify and will need to handwrite the exam.

Examination questions are distributed in paper format. Only responses to examination questions are typed and uploaded. Exam course templates will be available for download 24 hours prior to the start of the examination.

All students are automatically registered for Examplify, which provides a secure and encrypted word processing environment. If you have Examplify installed from a previous term, you will be required to update to the latest versions (2.8.0) which will require you to restart your computer. Once you restart, you may need to open, close, and re-open Examplify to be able to see your exams.
