After the exam

• Your organization will follow-up with you regarding any “suspicious” items that you have been flagged for.  These are serious violations that they will confirm before contacting you.
• Either your organization or Software Secure may email you for “Rules Violation”-based issues.  These are minor violations that your organization may have allowed Software Secure to bring to your attention.  For questions on these emails, please contact your faculty/instructor.  Emails will come from videoreview@softwaresecure.com if Software Secure has been asked to email you.

Re-verify

• If you do not take a valid photo of your ID (you don’t use an ID, or we cannot confirm the name/picture on the ID) you will be flagged and emailed from Reverify@softwaresecure.com. The email will contain a link that will let you attempt to retake your Photo and Photo ID pictures to remove any associated flags.
