What types of actions are prohibited during WGU assessments?

During WGU assessments, certain actions are explicitly prohibited to maintain academic integrity and ensure a fair testing environment. Screenshots, screen sharing, and screen recording are all actions that fall under this prohibition because they could allow a student to capture and share questions, answers, or the overall test environment in real time. These actions pose a significant risk to both the integrity of the assessment and the ethical standards expected of all students.

The primary aim is to ensure that each student's performance on the assessment accurately reflects their own knowledge and abilities. By preventing these actions, WGU upholds its commitment to academic honesty and ensures that all assessments are conducted in a secure manner. This focus on preventing unauthorized sharing of test content helps maintain the credibility of the degree programs offered.
