Install the DUCOMpass app

Go to the installation page
from your iPad or Android device to install it. PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS ON THAT PAGE.


Examplify for iPad from ExamSoft Worldwide, Inc
This is the free iPad app that is used to deliver exams in the first and second years of the curriculum. You are required to downlad and install it from the App Store.

How to SIGN IN and use MFA
At the Institution ID section, start typing "Drexel University College of Medicine" and then select it.

Next enter your Drexel UserID and Password.

Next you will need to Multi-Factor Authenticate (MFA). Examplify for iPad cannot use the authentication method called: "Microsoft Authenticator - notification". Also during exams you will not be able to have your phone with you in the room so you cannot use the "Phone-text method". If you have either of these methods chosen as your default MFA method, you will need to change it to finish signing-in. .

The only acceptable MFA method for Examplify for iPad exams is:
"Authenticator app or hardware token – code"

In case you are logged out of Examplify for iPad, we require that before exams you:
  1) Set your MFA method to be - "Authenticator app or hardware token – code"
  2) Have the Microsoft Authenticator app installed and set up on your iPad


To change your default sign-in method, follow these steps:
  1. Sign into Office on the web – office.com
  2. Click your account image (or initials) in the upper right corner
  3. Click “View account”
  4. Click “Security info” in the left menu
  5. Click “Change” next to Default sign-in method and select "Authenticator app or hardware token-code" and then click CONFIRM.
  6. If you have not yet set up "Authenticator app or hardware token-code" as a method, then select "Add Sign-in method" at the top and proceed to add this method.

Now in the Examplify for iPad app after signing into Drexel Connect it will ask for a Verification Code. To get it, go to the Authenticator app on your iPad, click on your Drexel profile and obtain the ONE-TIME PASSWORD CODE and use this code in Examplify for iPad.

Please refer to these instructions in our Examplify for iPad Student Guide
