How to Upload Test Instructions and a Test in Accommodate
Faculty Exam Shortcut
Faculty can now attach a single exam to multiple courses at once, eliminating the need to create the same exam separately for each course. This streamlines exam management for faculty who teach multiple sections of the same course or administer shared exams across courses.
1. Login to Accommodate and select the Faculty button. Use your credentials to log into your Accommodate Portal.
2. A new Add New Exam button is now available on the faculty home page. This provides a quick shortcut to creating an exam without navigating into a specific course. The button is hidden if the faculty member has no current or future course.
3. Select the Add New Exam button to open a new window to complete the test instructions and upload the test.
4. Select Submit Request.
5. A new exams section is in the faculty navigation menu. The information that is displayed here is like the Course>Exams section but includes exams across all courses. The Exam page includes two tabs:
- Exam Catalog: Displays current exams with keywords and course filters. Each item shows the exam title, attached courses and start and end dates. Exams can be viewed or edited directly from the list.
- Past Exams: Displays exams with date in the past. Includes keywords, course and semester filters. The semester filter displays all semesters, including archived semesters.
