Honorlock relies on A.I. based monitoring, as well as live proctors who review the footage of students’ exam sessions. Students will not incur a cost by using this option for proctored exams. Tests will be proctored on demand; scheduling in advance will not be necessary.
Students must have access to a computer with a webcam and microphone to use Honorlock. You can run a system check to determine if your computer, browser, and Internet Speed meets Honorlock’s Minimum Requirements.

Instructor FAQ
Alternative Assessments
It is recommended that instructors exercise flexibility with due dates and the exam availability window, as many testing environment variables will require time for support to troubleshoot. This includes device compatibility, device security settings, and internet stability. Instructors are encouraged to consider asynchronous projects, essays, or other meaningful assessment activities.
Instructional Designers are available to help you create alternative assessments. Please begin this process by contacting the Help Desk.
Student Requirements
Keep in mind that some of your students may not meet the technical requirements to use virtual proctoring software. Many communities lack access to reliable broadband internet speeds. Alternative exam administration is up to the instructor. If a student is not able to test due to device issues and has followed the support process, the student will need to locate an alternate device that is compatible or work directly with the instructor for alternatives.
On the Canvas Remote Proctored Exam Service Request Form, Instructors can identify an alternative for students who are unable to use virtual proctoring. It is up to the instructor to decide the appropriate course of action for students who make an effort to work with the Help Desk, but are unable to use Boise State’s virtual proctoring solution. However, this must be identified in advance in order to avoid delays. Examples of alternatives include taking the test with Respondus LockDown Browser or referring the student to the instructor to take the test over Zoom.
Note: Please advise your students to verify compatibility before they attempt their exam session. Honorlock’s Minimum Requirements page will allow students to run a system compatibility check.
