We recommend IE7.

Please note that all Access (database) files must first be zipped or compressed before attaching.
Ensure that the student has Microsoft Office 2007 (Windows) or Microsoft Office 2008 (MAC) since all professors are utilizing such software. If the student is using MS 2005 (W) or MS 2004 (M) please advise them to either have the professor re-submit the file so that it is compatible for both 97-2005 (W) or 98-2004 (M) users.
Student can either check with the Online Learning for Exam passwords.
OR
They can contact the professor if it was not provided on the Announcement Page
Explanation: This happens when the system does not depict any activity for a period of time (that is, either when the professor places all the questions on one page which does not require the selection of NEXT, CONTINUE, etc, or if the student is working in another program: such as MS Word, Excel, etc while taking the exam.
Possible Solutions: Occasionally the student is allowed to log out of Angel completely and once logged back in they will then be able to continue the exam.
OR
Most often the exam needs to be reset so that the student can then take it again. Have the student contact the professor for resetting exams.
Explanation: Yes your exam should be in the system since Time Expired is displayed when the time given by the professor has come to an end. A warning is usually given at least five minutes (depending on professor settings) before expiring.
Possible Solutions: Depending on the professor's settings the exam should either be submitted automatically once the time expires
OR
It will be located in the Pending items folder (See professor's Instruction) if the professor did not utilize the automatically submit function.
Note: Exam should not be blank when submitted or if found in the pending items folder unless the student took a peek without answering the questions.
Nothing can be done from the Helpdesk Associates' end; the student will need to contact the professor in order to be given access back into the exam.
Note: Most professors utilize the one log-in attempt (which only allows the student to log into the exam ONCE) while a few give unlimited or 2 time attempts (See Professor Instructions on how to check Exam Settings).
Most likely the exam was submitted however depending on the professor's settings that might not be an option which that professor used (See professor's Instruction for Exam Settings). Student could then contact the professor for grade inquiry. Please note that many times instructors need to grade questions manually. Your final grade will not be posted to the grade book until after all questions are graded.
OR
The student could check the grade book by going to REPORT - Category: Grade - Report: Grade Book Grades - User: Student's Name - Finally RUN. If not available there, then the student should contact the professor.
Please check the professor's settings (See Instructions on setting up exams) on the exam itself not the folder to ensure that the professor does not have a wrong date and/or time on the exam, or that the exam has not ended/expired (do this by checking time and date) and also ensure that all students or all users are granted access.
