If you exit out of the exam for any reason, it is important that you understand that the timer will continue to run (even if you shut down your computer). If you experience an interruption in your Internet service and are "kicked out" of the exam, you should immediately log back in to Moodle, go the exam, and click "Continue Exam." If you experience technical issues during the exam you should immediately email the ULM Helpdesk at helpdesk@ulm.edu (send an email even if it is not during regular business hours) and Cc your instructor.

Remember that it is a good idea to scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Save without submitting" every 15-20 minutes.
