This article shows how to apply accountability codes to test sessions. In your district, accountability codes may be called Not Tested, Exception Irregularity codes, etc. They provide a way for designated users to tag students who should not test, or who were tested but should not appear in reporting. The available codes, what they do, and who can add them depends on your site implementation. Depending on role permissions, users can apply codes individually from the administration card or bulk apply codes from Session Explorer.
