Intended Audience: Mentors
About
When a K–12 student is enrolled in a Michigan Virtual course through a school, the mentor assigned to support the student is responsible for obtaining the necessary exam passwords. These passwords are available in the secure, on-demand Passwords Dashboard located within the Brightspace Insights Portal. This guide outlines the steps a mentor should take to locate midterm and final exam passwords well in advance of the scheduled assessments.
Important: Midterm and final exams are strongly recommended to be proctored. This means the mentor must supervise the student while the exam is being completed. After the course concludes, access to all content, including the final exam, will no longer be available.
At the start of the academic term, mentors should consult the course Pacing Guide to determine the scheduled dates for midterm and final exams.

Note: Not all courses contain exam passwords. If no password is listed for a course, it means none has been set.
