Student Guide to Honorlock

Learn about how to set up, use, and get help for Honorlock.

Note: You can only use the Google Chrome browser to take exams proctored by Honorlock. Before starting your first exam that Honorlock proctors, you will need to download the Honorlock Google Chrome extension (you should only need to complete this process once 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.)
  • We recommend “Setting up Chrome Profiles” using multiple Google accounts” to simplify your workflow.
  • A webcam
  • A stable and strong Internet connection (We strongly advise testing your system in advance via a link on the Honorlock support page.)

  • Students are required to establish identity following the procedures outlined in the Honorlock instructions.
  • Lighting in the room must be bright enough to be considered “daylight” quality.
  • Be sure the desk or table is cleared of all other materials.
  • Close all other programs and/or windows on the testing computer before logging into the proctored test environment.
  • You must not leave the room during the testing period at any time.
  • Do not use a phone for any reason. The only exception is to contact support or your instructor in the event of a technical issue.

Honorlock is fully accessible to students with people with disabilities. Honorlock works with screen readers if needed.

Honorlock is VPAT-certified and is committed to being accessible to people with disabilities.
