Why can't I import the exams directly into the regular course room?

(Last reviewed March 27, 2023)

The examination room must be used because the student groups are different. The students who are registered for the exam are not necessarily registered on the current course offering and do not have access to the course room.

All registered students on an activity will have access to the examination room after the registration period has closed.
