Register Canvas New Quizzes as Third-Party Exams
If you wish to use the Canvas New Quizzes feature with Honorlock Proctoring, you will need to register the assessment as a Third-Party exam. This guide will demonstrate how to do so.
Creating an Assessment with New Quizzes
1) In the Quizzes tab of Canvas, select + Quiz, then select New Quizzes and submit.

2) In the Assignment Name field [1], enter the name of your assessment. To enter assessment details, enter the total points possible [2], select the assignment group [3], and choose how the grade is displayed to students [4].
To remove this assessment from final grade calculations, click the Do not count this assignment towards the final grade checkbox [5].

3) In the Assign To field [1], select who will be required to take the assessment. You can assign the assessment to individual students or sections.
In the Due field [2], select the assessment due date.
In the Available from and Until fields [3], select the availability dates for the assessment. In-progress quizzes will automatically submit when the Until date and time passes.

4) Select the Build button to add questions and content to your assessment.

5) In the Build Settings section, select Require a student access code. Create an access code for the assessment.
IMPORTANT: For the Honorlock third-party feature to work, the assessment must be password-protected. Please do not share the access code with students.

6) You’ll need to copy the unique URL for the New Quiz from the student view for the next few steps. To locate and copy the unique URL, go into the Student View.

7) Once in Student View, locate and click on the quiz to open it up. You will know you are in Student View by a pink border around the screen, and the option to Reset Student or Leave Student View, showing at the bottom right corner of the browser.
8) Once it’s opened, copy the link that’s in the browser and save it somewhere because you will need this for the next section. Remember you must be in Student View, because this is the link accessible to students

How to Create a Third-Party Exam
1) Navigate to Honorlock in your Learning Management System.
2) Locate and click the three white vertical dots in the top right of the LTI.

3) Click Register Third Party Exam.

4) Name the Exam to match the name of the New Quizzes assessment.
5) Next, set the Exam Start and Exam End times to match the start and end times of the New Quizzes assessment.
6) Enter the same password you created for the New Quizzes assessment in the Exam Password field. Please ensure that each exam has a different password. If the password does not match, students will not be able to start the exam. If you do not set a password on the exam, students will be able to start the exam un-proctored.
7) Type Canvas New Quizzes under Exam Platform.
8) Add the URL/Link to the assessment.
NOTE: For the Exam URL/Link that is being registered, please ensure the proper permissions are set as exam takers may encounter an “Access Denied” notification. Typically, if the word “edit” is contained within the link, it may be instructor facing only, and will not work.

9) Select your preferred proctoring settings for the assessment. For an in-depth explanation of each of these options, please scroll down to the Proctoring Settings section of this guide.

10) Enable the Student Guidelines and clarifying info in the Additional Instructions section. Add in any Accommodation info as well. For an in-depth explanation of each of these options, please scroll down to the Student Guidelines section of this guide.

11) Select the blue Create button to save your settings. Your third-party exam is now created and enabled with Honorlock. Third-party exams will be identified with a third-party exam icon.

That could be a link to the e-textbook, DESMOS for an online graphing calculator, or a link to any other web page your exam takers will need to complete the assessment. When adding your URLs in the box below, please make sure you click “Add Site” for each page you’re granting access to. Please include the link to that site or resources within the question stem itself, or the exam instructions so students can click on it.
- Simulated exam option - This should only be used for low stakes or no stakes assessments, as it will simulate the proctoring experience, but there will be no recording or flagging to review after the session is complete.
