Having trouble accessing the quiz?

There are a few reasons this may occur:

  • The quiz is not yet available.
  • The quiz has already ended.
  • The maximum number of attempts has been reached.

 

If the Internet connection is lost while taking the quiz, the page froze, or the page was closed, the timer for the quiz continues to run. Questions are saved if you are kicked out for whatever reason, or if you need to refresh your page if it freezes. Contact your professor if these issues interfere with your ability to take the quiz, document what happened with screen shots, and explain what has occurred.
