Eligibility Module Overview

The Eligibility module is located under Test Properties > the Schedule tab > Eligibility.

It is a test-specific feature that enables t.authors to apply Deadline, Frequency and Notification parameters regarding t.taker eligibility. 

Test administrators can also construct and send email notifications based on the Deadline and Frequency settings.

Note: TG’s Retakes and Frequency are two separate properties – each can be set independent of the other.  However, in certain cases, the Frequency setting is influenced by the date and time of retakes defined by the test administrator. 

Assumptions

In order for anyone to take a test they must:

• Have a TG User Profile, UserID and Password
• Be enrolled in a Class that contains tests
• Also be enrolled at a Test level and 
• The Test must be activated by the test author
  
  

TG Classes: Test Enrollment Enabled

When a t.author creates a class, one of the automatically-enabled class parameters is the “Test Takers enrolled…” checkbox, highlighted.

As with other more advanced TG features, if you wish to incorporate the Schedule/Eligibility feature into your testing program, we recommend reviewing this tutorial and then contacting us to set up an online support session.
