Proctorio - Exempt a Student from Using Proctorio (Alternative Method)

To implement this workflow, the instructor will need to send a copy of the exam to their sandbox, rename it, and send a copy of the renamed quiz back to their academic course, only assign it to the student(s) receiving the exemption, then waive the grade for that student on the original exam. Additionally, instructors must ensure that the new version of the quiz has exactly the same point and weight value in the Gradebook as the original quiz.

You can also exempt a Student using Proctorio. Learn more on our Exempting a Student from Using Proctorio (Recommended Method) tutorial

Please note: You can only copy a quiz one time. If you need to make two copies you will need to repeat this process using the copied quiz (i.e., not the original quiz).
