As you complete your exam, your computer’s screen and webcam will be monitored and recorded by a live Honorlock proctor. If you are flagged by the system or a proctor, the live virtual proctor will pop in to assess the situation, make sure there isn’t an academic violation, and help you get back on track with your exam. Honorlock also has an integrity algorithm that can detect search-engine use, so please do not attempt to search for answers, even if it's on a secondary device, like your cell phone or iPad.
Honorlock testing policies are determined by the instructor and communicated in the syllabus. If the instructor does not set any, then the following are standard:
