1. Please note: Before you can use Honorlock, you must make it visible in your course menu. To do this, go to your course Settings page, select Navigation, and move Honorlock to the visible section.
2. Then enable Honorlock for your exam by following Honorlock's Using Honorlock with Canvas tutorial.
3. If you are importing/copying a previous course in Canvas, access Honorlock in the new course and choose the Copy Settings option. Honorlock will not be active in the copied course until you follow this step.

Important Notes

• Exams in courses copied from a previous semester will be disabled in Honorlock by default. Open Honorlock in the course site for the current term and enable it for needed quizzes.
• Never modify or remove the code that Honorlock places in the Canvas "Require a student access code" box, on the quiz Settings page. This is automatically populated by Honorlock and is used to control access to the exam by the automated proctoring system. Modifying the code will cause Honorlock to fail and students will be able to take the test without using Honorlock. If you have edited the access code, you will need to disable and then re-enable Honorlock for a new code to be generated.
• We suggest you provide students with a no/low stakes quiz that uses your expected Honorlock settings at the beginning of the semester. Students must use the Chrome browser, and will be required to install the Honorlock Chrome extension. Depending on settings, students may also need to download the Honorlock application (see below).

New: Block/Allow Apps (Honorlock Application)

Depending on your chosen settings, Honorlock records the student's screen and flags instances when a student leaves the test window (such as opening another browser window or application). If you want to fully block students from using anything else on their computer, or you want to block everything except one or two applications, use the Block/Allow Apps option. This Honorlock page describes various scenarios and when to use this option. This option will require the students to download a Windows/Mac Honorlock Application to their computer. Like the Chrome extension, students are automatically prompted to install the application before the exam begins.

• The Block/Allow Apps option (which requires students to install the Honorlock application) works with Windows and Macs only - a quiz with this option will not work with Chromebooks.
• This Honorlock Application guide for students provides additional details.
• It is highly recommended you have a practice exam with the Block/Allow Apps settings to ensure students can downloaded the application on their Mac or Windows computer.

General Tips

• Ensure students are aware of your Honorlock requirement early in the course or on the syllabus.
• Create a practice quiz for students so they use Honorlock once before using it for an actual test. Use the "Simulated -Not Proctored" option.
• You may want to include "(Honorlock)" at the end of the test names so students are aware of the Honorlock requirement.
• In the "Test Taker Guidelines" section of Honorlock quiz options, choose exactly what students can or cannot use during the exam. Honorlock's pop-in proctors will use these guidelines to ensure students are following your test rules.
• Send students our student tips with Honorlock page, this includes links for the HonorPrep checker to ensure students are ready to go.
• Encourage students to use the chat function inside Honorlock if they encounter any technical issues.
