What is DigiExam?

Digiexam has taken the place of Exam Accounts at the Upper School. DigiExam allows teachers at the Upper School to administer an online exam to students, while preventing the test taker from leaving the DigiExam application. Faculty, if you would like a DigiExam account, please submit a Tech Request at support.riverdale.edu.
