Giving Paper-based Exams in the Testing Center
The only system Weber State will be using to administer exams starting Fall 2022 is through Canvas. All paper exams must have a Quiz shell created in Canvas so they will show up in the Testing Center Check-in system and can be administered.
-
- Use standard naming convention for paper exams (EX: ENG 1010 Exam 1, etc.)
- The Canvas Quiz should include instructions to students and quiz details.
- The Canvas Quiz shell should include a single question to allow a manual grade which can be applied once the test has been completed.
- Follow the required steps in the section “How to Enable Your Test in the Testing Center” on the Secure Testing and Proctoring in Canvas website.
- The Canvas quiz must be published with an access code and a “from” and “until” date to be available in the Testing Center. A due date does not have any effect on test availability.

- Follow the directions on the Administering Exams in the Testing Center page to make the exam available in the testing center.
- For paper and hybrid exams, select the applicable "Test Type" in the app to select the relevant testing locations.
- For computer exams, if you want to limit your exam to specific locations, you will have to type those directions in the Proctor Instructions box
- Check the appropriate boxes for test aids and include any instructions.
- The testing center cannot administer tests unless a record of the exam details have been provided and staff can identify which students are intended to take the test.
- If an exam is a “hybrid” and consists of paper and computer portions, it will be administered as a computer test where the students will be given a handout portion by the Testing Center.
- If the exam consists only of a paper portion it will require an empty or quiz shell in Canvas to allow it to be administered.
- Drop off paper exam copies at your chosen testing center location(s)
