This course will use Honorlock as a component of its online testing during [all exams]. Honorlock is an online proctoring service that allows you to take your exams from the comfort of your home or similarly appropriate environment while ensuring that everyone in the course is representing their own learning, ideas and work with integrity.

The purpose of the online proctoring service is to ensure the test integrity of any assessment or exam to a similar standard that would be expected in a live proctoring environment in a classroom or testing center.

Due to the content of this course and its placement within your program of study, the following protocol are required during associated Honorlock exams for the purpose of test integrity. Any recorded content and/or photos are viewable by your instructor, college officials, and Honorlock employees:

• Recorded Webcam: Your face, parts of your body, anything else behind/next to where you are sitting and in view of your webcam, and audio will be recorded using your webcam during the assessment. These recordings are viewable only by your instructor, college officials, and Honorlock employees. They are deleted six months after the recording date.
• Room Scan: Prior to taking the assessment, you will be asked to record a 360-degree scan of your surroundings for the purpose of academic integrity. This includes a scan of your horizontal work surface where your computer or laptop sits. It is your responsibility to remove anything private or confidential from your surroundings that you do not want included in the room scan in advance of starting the assessment. If you have concerns regarding a room scan, please notify your instructor prior to the assessment.
• Student Photo: Prior to taking the assessment, a photo will be taken of your entire face for the purpose of identity verification.
• Student ID: Prior to taking the assessment, you will need to provide a photo ID (school or governmental) for the purpose of identity verification.
• Screen Recording: During the assessment the actions viewable on your computer screen will be recorded. These recordings are viewable only by your instructor, college officials, and Honorlock employees. They are deleted six months after the recording date.
• User Actions: During the assessment, proctoring software downloaded onto a student’s device will detect user actions such as attempting to print, save or copy content, visit another website, opening other software, exiting from view of the webcam, etc. and will be noted unless specifically allowed by your instructor. If an action continues that is not allowed, an Honorlock Exam Proctor may “pop in” live on your computer and review any necessary corrective actions with you before you can continue your assessment.
• Add additional expectations or edit bullets so they match your specific assessment settings.

Once you submit your assessment, all recording activity of any kind will stop.

Students are encouraged to learn more about Honorlock if they have general questions about the technology and I will provide additional opportunities to answer specific questions as we prepare for exams.
