Delayed Viewing? How Does It Work?
Most ITV courses allow something called delayed viewing. This means the faculty member does not require your attendance at the time of the live broadcast. Rather, you can log in to your Blackboard site, click on the course link, then click on Class Capture and view the broadcast anytime from anywhere. Of course, you are always welcome to attend when the live broadcast happens. Be sure you know the faculty’s exam policies so you know your test dates.
Proctored Testing at URock
If you need to schedule a proctored test at URock, please note that our scheduled times are Tuesday mornings at 8:00AM or Friday evenings at 4:00PM. You will need to call the URock office to sign up so we are sure to have your test materials ready for you. You will need a photo ID when you take the test.
