Honorlock Proctoring Tool

Exams can be locked down and/or test taking sessions recorded by using online tools. Â鶹ÊÓƵ instructors are able to use Honorlock to monitor exams during testing.

Please Note: Â鶹ÊÓƵ has limited availability in select Â鶹ÊÓƵ Computer Labs for Â鶹ÊÓƵ students to take online proctored exams if the student lacks the required equipment. Visit the proctored exam page for more information, including locations, hours, and access details. 

Exam sessions are recorded and instructors can view the results on the Honorlock page in Canvas Courses. Students have to use the Google Chrome browser and install the Honorlock extension (download link will appear after linking a Canvas quiz to Honorlock or when students click the Honorlock tab in a course). Students do not pay a fee for Honorlock. 

The tool offers the following features:
Search and Destroy - Honorlock secures your test questions by automatically removing them from online sources.

      • Some students might need to use a public area to take an exam. Consider asking your students to contact you if they need to take a proctored exam in a more public setting (with other people around them). You will be able to check a setting in Honorlock (Student Guidelines > Take Exam in Public Area) to note this accommodation. Honorlock might be flagging background conversations when students take an exam with other people in their environment. You will be able to view the exam session recording to verify that the student did not interact with people around them.
