RegisterBlast
Last modified 1/4/2024
RegisterBlast is an exam registration software used within Canvas that allows instructors to submit exams to the ISU Testing Center. This also allows students to schedule exam appointments within their specific Canvas courses. Once an exam is submitted, a testing center administrator will approve it, and an email will go out to the instructor, letting them know the exam is ready to be taken.
