You can also use the "Filter IP Addresses" option to only allow students on computers with a certain IP address to access the quiz. When you click on this option you'll see a button Use Logan Testing Center IP Addresses that you can click to auto-fill the IP address range for the computers in the Academic Testing Center.

Assign the quiz and set deadlines

You must assign the quiz before students can access it. You can assign the quiz to everyone in the class, a specific section, or an individual student. You can set the quiz dates such as when the quiz is due and a date or date range when the quiz is available for students to take.
