Important notes about Honorlock for your students

• Honorlock currently supports testing on Mac, Windows, or Chromebooks. Testing is NOT SUPPORTED on iPads, tablets, or cellphones.
• Review the Ohio State article "Getting Started with Honorlock for Students".

Getting ready to use Honorlock

1. Ensure your computer meets the Honorlock minimum system requirements.
   • NOTE: If you have a cop-managed computer, you should be set. If you encounter an issue with minimum system requirements, please submit a ticket to the Technology Services team about your hardware.
2. Check to ensure that you have removed Proctorio's Chrome extension. This step is necessary because the Proctorio Chrome extension will block the Honorlock browser extension from becoming active.
3. Install the Honorlock Chrome extension. Review this help article for a step-by-step guide to its installation.
4. Locate all quizzes and exams which previously used Proctorio and ensure that you removed the Proctorio elements in Canvas. The quizzes and exams will still show the following image below if it contains any Proctorio elements:

Creating a Practice Exam in Honorlock

It is highly recommended that you create and assign a practice Honorlock quiz in your Carmen course during the first week of the course. This allows your students to run through system checks to ensure they meet the minimum system requirements and have the Chrome browser extension installed.

Accommodations for Honorlock quizzes and exams

Instructors add extra time in Canvas Quizzes. Please note the exam access is controlled entirely by Canvas.  The Honorlock window will remain open until the student closes the window or the exam ends.

How to adjust Quiz time in Canvas

1. Make sure you have created and published a quiz with a time limit.
2. Follow the Canvas instructions to increase the quiz time limit using the Moderate This Quiz link in Canvas.
   • Note: If you don't see this feature, please verify your quiz is published.
3. You can change extended time for individual students or multiple students who have the same extended time.
