Help CenterHonorlock Universal Third Party Integration allows the test taker to test outside their Learning Management System (LMS), via a third-party publisher website, while their session is still being proctored.
Before you begin, you must download Google Chrome and have the Honorlock extension installed to take your exam. To download Chrome, click here; to download the extension, click here.
Scroll to read the step-by-step instructions on how to begin authentication and how to access the third party site:
1) Within your LMS (Canvas, D2L, Blackboard, Moodle), find your respective course, and locate and launch Honorlock. You will be directed to the Honorlock Launch Page, which will assist with tracking your overall exam progress and provide instructions for each step.
2) Return to the Honorlock Launch page, and agree to Honorlock's Terms of Service and our Exam Taker Privacy Notice policy before launching proctoring. Select Continue.
Note: This is the pinned tab with the shield in the upper right corner of the browser page.
3) Once you are ready to begin the authentication process, click on Begin Authentication.
Note: The Honorlock Mobile Application QR code on this screen is to download the application. This QR code will not connect the Honorlock mobile application to your exam session. You may be required to use your smartphone only for specific, guided authentication steps. Honorlock may prompt you to use your phone for ID Verification and/or the Workspace Photo.
4) If Browser Guard is enabled, you will be prompted with the message below. Once you click on Continue, you will not be able to access any other applications or resources. Any attempts to do so will be flagged for review. You will then be prompted to review Privacy Details and select I understand to continue.
5) You will receive a prompt, as Honorlock requires access to your device’s webcam and microphone. To allow this and move forward with your exam, click Allow. If you accidentally deny access to your camera, follow the steps in this article.
6) After allowing Honorlock access, you will be prompted to take a photo of yourself as part of Honorlock’s authentication process. Center your face and take a photo by clicking Take Photo. If you see “Permission Denied by the computer”, follow the steps in this article.
7) An ID Photo will also be required for Honorock’s authentication process. Acceptable forms of IDs are school/institution IDs, driver’s licenses, and passports. Hold your photo ID in the frame and click on Take ID Photo. Please ensure your ID is centered and clearly visible during this process.
8) The last step of the authentication process is the Workspace Scan. After you have successfully completed the step, you will be instructed to put your phone away completely (out of sight and arm's reach) before you can begin your exam. For a step by step walkthrough for the workspace scan, review this article.
To complete a successful room scan, click Begin and rotate your camera 360°, showing your entire test-taking environment and desk area. To see an example of an acceptable room scan, review this article.
(The 360° Room Scan will be discontinued in the Fall 2026 semester)
9) After you have completed your workspace scan, your workspace scan will be confirmed and you will receive a "success" message and will continue to the next step.
10) Next, you will launch the screen recording. To begin, click Proceed.
11) To complete the screen recording setup, click on the screen you wish to share, and then click the Share button.
12) The last step in the process of launching a third-party exam is accessing the exam itself.
(Do not return to the Honorlock tab and click on the Launch button again. This will restart the proctoring steps (face photo, ID photo, Workspace Scan, Screen Share).
If you have login, user name and password for the third-party site, click on the Open Exam Site button and login.
If you normally access the third-party site through your school course page, open a new tab, navigate back to the course page, and locate the link to the third-party site. Access the third-party site through your course page just like you do when completing assignments that are not enabled with Honorlock.
Open the site, locate your exam, and follow the prompts on the screen.
13) Follow the guided prompt in the bottom left corner of your test window to locate the third-party exam. Once located, click I Have Found My Exam.
14) To gain access to the exam once the password field is visible, click the Unlock assessment button located in the guided prompt found in the bottom-left corner of your test window, which will populate the exam password within the required field.
15) Once the exam password has populated within the field, proceed to click on Submit (this button/verbiage could be slightly different depending on the third party). Doing this will grant you access to your exam. Please note that if BrowserGuardTM is not enabled for your exam, you will not see the blue border around the testing window as shown in the image below. You can minimize the Honorlock Proctoring window at any time.
16) Once you are done with your exam, you can proceed to submit your test.
17) Once you see the confirmation page, you have successfully ended your proctoring session. Close all tabs used to launch proctoring for the exam to submit your exam session.
