F20 Deferred Exam Schedule

The purpose of the practice test is to ensure that your computer is set up appropriately and that you are comfortable using Respondus Lockdown Browser and Monitor. If you have any difficulties downloading or installing Respondus LockDown Browser and Monitor, or encounter other technical problems taking the Practice Test/Final Exam (e.g., your computer freezes during the test or the software fails to work, etc.), contact the CourseLink Support at courselink@uoguelph.ca or 519-824-4120 ext. 56939 or 1-866-275-1478 (toll-free in Canada and US). You are responsible for self-testing the functionality of Respondus LockDown Browser and Monitor well in advance of the final exam so that any troubleshooting that is required can be accomplished.

Please note that any reference to the exam date and time in the Outline and Assignments sections is not applicable. You will be writing at the time indicated in the Deferred Exam Schedule (below).

To accommodate students who may be located in various time zones, the exam will be available beginning at 18:00 to 19:00 Eastern Time (ET). You can enter the exam at any point during this window of time but will only have 2 hours to complete it from when you start writing. For example, if you start writing by 18:30, you will have until 20:30 (ET) to complete it. After 19:00 (ET), you will no longer be able to enter the exam environment.

It is highly recommended that you enter the online exam environment at least 20-30 minutes before the end of the available window to ensure that you have the full two hours for the exam. For exams using Respondus, this will allow enough time for you to complete the Respondus Startup Sequence.

Make sure to write the CourseLink Support information (519-824-4120 ext. 56939; toll-free (Canada & US) 1-866-275-1478) down, as the Respondus LockDown Browser will prevent you from accessing other websites. CourseLink Support will be able to assist with any technical issues before or during the exam.
