Before adding awards and units - Set up and customise your exam centre

Before using exams in Arbor, you should ensure your centre is set up. Here you can also customise certain aspects of exam downloads and exports.

Permissions

You'll need the Qualifications: Administer All Students permission to set up your centre and exams. If you don't have permissions, ask your administration team to give you permission using these instructions

 

Set up your centre

To set up the exams area for your school, go to Students > Examinations > Administration > Centre Setup. Click anywhere you see an arrow icon to add information.

Add the centre number in School Details

Add the school’s Centre Number - you can see more details on this here: Key terminology

Assign Exams Officers

Make sure your school's Exams officer(s) are listed. You can click on them to edit the assignment.

If there isn't anyone listed or you need to add further people, Exams Officers can be assigned to the role by giving them the Business Role of Exams Officer.
