  • When creating or editing a Quiz, enable SEB by selecting (do not change the defaults unless you know what you are doing):

    “Yes – CEU template - CEU SEB template"


Safe Exam Browser settings

  • This ensures:

    • Students start directly from the Quiz after download.

    • They cannot exit until the Quiz is finished.

    • Students cannot navigate away from the Quiz page or open other software during the attempt.

(Note: If you allow SEB exams at home, students may still use other devices outside of SEB’s control.)

If you have a student who cannot or does not need to use SEB, you can give exempt. Just add the role "SEB Exempt Student" under Participants (click the pen icon next to the student's role, type and select the new role, and click the disk icon to save). This needs to be added in addition to the existing Student role for it to take effect. If the exemption is no longer needed, you can simply remove the role.
