“This Test can be saved and resumed later” … what does it mean?

This statement is related to Force Completion.  Force Completion is a test option instructors can set that only allows for a one-time entry into a test. If a test has Force Completion enabled and a student accidentally closes the browser, or loses connection to the test, the student cannot reenter the test unless the instructor intervenes.

Students:  Force Completion DOES NOT affect the test timer.  The test timer starts counting down as soon as the Begin button is clicked.  Exiting a browser session during the middle of a test does not stop the test timer.
Reminder: UHD IT Training materials for Students are available at http://www.uhd.edu/computing/ttlc/training/#fragment-3

Faculty: UHD Blackboard Support does not recommend the use of Force Completion due to the many variables that can interrupt a test session.  If you have any questions, please contact UHD Blackboard Support at 713-221-2786 or bb@uhd.edu
