Canvas Password Set Up

Exams that are not 2-step password protected may be accessed by students without connecting to a live proctor. To avoid confusion, you can create 2 assessments, (1) your course exam and (2) your Password Quiz.

Note: the Honorlock password (starts with HL-) does not password protect an exam. Do not edit it.

Your Password Quiz should be a fill-in-the-blank, 1-question assessment. The answer to the Password Quiz will be the test password. In order for students to access the course exam, they will have to first answer the Password Quiz successfully. They will only get the password from Testing Services on exam day.

Step 1: First go to Modules. Then, select +Module

Step 2: Type in a new Module name, then Add Module
*In this example, the Module is called Assessments

Step 3: Select +

Step 4: From the drop-down menu, select “Quiz”.  Then, select the 2 items you created. Last, select Add Item.

Step 5: Select the 3 dots next to your assessment group, then Edit

Step 6: Select + Add Requirement

Step 7: Check “Students must move through requirements in sequential order”.
On the first drop down, select the Password Quiz you created.
On the second drop down, select score at least 1.
Then, select Update Module.

When you go to Student View, your course Exam should look grayed out. Make sure that your Module is Published.
