ALEKS placement test for Mathematics now includes proctoring through Respondus

by Office of First Year Student Advising & Success  |   

ALEKS placement test for Mathematics now includes proctoring through Respondus. This is a statewide update to improve placement accuracy and student success. Other ALEKS PPL configurations will remain the same. Through the virtual proctoring format, students may complete the placement test at any time. Students will continue to be limited to a maximum of three hours per test and a maximum of five tests per year.

Students may complete the ALEKS by either:

  • Option 1: Logging into ALEKS virtually through a desktop or non-Chromebook laptop/tablet with a working webcam. Following the prompts to download the Respondus software that launches a browser lockdown and webcam recording before proceeding to complete the test. Students may contact ALEKS at 1-800-258-2374 for technical support.
  • Option 2: Contacting the UAA Testing Center or another local facility to have the ALEKS proctored.

Students who only have access to a Chromebook and who cannot come to campus for proctoring will need alternative accommodations. Please contact vbrobideaux@alaska.edu for guidance or questions.

The Office of First Year Student Advising & Success has updated the First Year 101 page to reflect these changes (see "How do I take these exams") and created an ALEKS: Getting Started Guide with step-by-step instructions.
