    Below you'll find more information about the policy changes and a step-by-step guide on how Google Workspace administrators can mark Exam.net as a trusted application.

    Who is impacted?
    If your school or district relies on school-administered Google accounts for students under 18 to enter exams on Exam.net, these policy changes will affect you.

    Please note that these changes won't affect you if your school or district does not use school-administered Google credentials for student logins or if your students are over the age of 18.
