For Students
Note: You can only use the Google Chrome browser to take exams that are proctored by Honorlock.
Before starting your first exam that is proctored by Honorlock, you will need to download the Honorlock Google Chrome extension (you should only need to complete this process once each time you use a computer to take an exam).
System Requirements:
- A laptop or desktop computer (not a tablet)
- Google Chrome browser
- One-time installation of a Chrome browser extension (The system will guide you through this simple step.)
- If you use multiple Google accounts we recommend “Setting up Chrome Profiles” to simplify your workflow.
