- A quiz must be published before you can moderate it.
- If you would like to manage the quiz moderation options (extra time or attempts) before allowing students to access it, set the quiz Available From date to a future date and publish the quiz. Your students will not receive a notification for an unavailable quiz.
- Once Published with a future date to limit student access, you can use the Moderate the Quiz option to Give Extra Time and/or Attempts to individual students.

- Selecting Proctor Types in SmarterProctoring
- If you want to ensure students use only the AU Biggin Hall Testing Center…under the Proctor Types, please select “Institution Testing Centers.” Do not select anything under “other options.”
- In selecting other options, you give permission for students to select any proctor that is available in their locale. However, you can select other options if you have students away from campus (i.e., Auburn Abroad, Intern, Distance Education) and you agree to their test being taken away from campus.
- Remember, other options may charge a proctoring fee which is the responsibility of the student. Departments may choose the option to pre-pay proctoring fees, if so desired.
