This guide covers how to submit your exam, confirm proctoring has stopped, troubleshoot any issues, and remove the Honorlock extension.

Submitting Your Exam

  • Submit Manually: When finished, select the Submit Quiz button at the bottom of your assessment page.

  • Automatic Submission: If time runs out before you finish, your exam will submit automatically.

(Note: The exact button location or phrasing may vary depending on your learning platform, such as Canvas).

Confirming Proctoring Has Ended

Once your exam is submitted, proctoring usually stops automatically:

  • Honorlock Toolbar: The bottom toolbar (showing details, calculator, or recording status) will disappear.

  • Optional Survey: A voluntary survey may appear asking if you encountered technical issues. You can complete it or select Skip.

  • Confirmation Message: A screen showing "Thank you for using Honorlock!" will briefly appear, and the proctoring window will automatically close.

Troubleshooting & Manually Ending a Session

If the webcam light stays on or you see a "Proctoring in progress" or "Exam Paused" message after submitting, follow these steps to manually end the session:

  • Stop Sharing / Close Browser

    • Click Stop Sharing on the screen toolbar or close your Chrome browser window.

  • Close the Proctoring Window

    • Find the Honorlock proctoring window in your device's taskbar or dock:

      • Windows: Look for the shield icon with a checkmark.

      • Mac: Look for the proctoring window with the Chrome icon.

    • Open that window and select the red button in the top-left corner to exit.

Removing the Honorlock Extension

If you wish to remove the extension after your exam:

  1. Copy and paste chrome://extensions into your Chrome address bar.

  2. Find Honorlock in your extensions list.

  3. Select Remove.

  4. Refresh your browser page.
