Students may test online if they prefer to do so. Guidelines for online testing are as follows:
· Before students can take the ALEKS online, they must set up their IU Accounts. If you have not yet set up your account, please visit: https://access.iu.edu/starterkit
· All online testers must use Google Chrome on a MacOS or Windows-based computer. Chromebooks may not work. Smartphones and tablets may not be used for online testing.
· Testers are required to use a webcam. The webcam must be on and pointed at the tester for the duration of the assessment.
· All assessments are monitored and recorded.
· At testing time, all students will be required to download and use the Honorlock Extension, which is only compatible with Google Chrome.
· A TI30XA or TI30X IIS calculator is permitted for use on the exam. Students are responsible for obtaining this calculator. Graphing calculators are not allowed.
· Students are permitted to use scratch paper for writing out problems on the assessment.
· Cellphones or digital devices of any kind other than a calculator and the computer being used for testing are not allowed during the test. A cellphone is required for initial set up.
· The tester is responsible for ensuring their testing environment is free of distractions.
· Testers must also follow the testing rules set forth by Honorlock at testing time.
· Upon taking your first assessment, a $52 fee will be applied to your bursar account. If you take more than 4 assessments, another fee is added.
· Students may not use outside tools, generative AI, or other kinds of overlays on the assessment.
· Failure to follow these steps will result in scores being invalidated. In some cases, students who fail to follow instructions or are flagged for outside tool usage will be required to test in person.
