Honorlock Testing Standards

Standards for testers will remain consistent, within reason, between the physical testing centers and testing with Honorlock. In some cases, instructors will have students in the same class using both methods, making it even more vital that expectations be the same. Please keep in mind that test sessions will be recorded and reviewed. Certain behaviors may also be flagged by Honorlock and reviewed by the instructor.

  • You will need to show government photo identification, which is to include either a driver’s license, passport, military ID, or a WSU Wildcat card. On Honorlock, there will be a moment when you will show the identification to the camera. It will be compared directly to the person being filmed. The name on the identification must match the name in Canvas. Official online sources of photo identifications are acceptable in two cases: a WSU Wildcat card and a Utah Driver License. Screen shots of the photo IDs are not taken.
     
  • A cellular phone or any other device with internet or cellular service, aside from the computer in use for the test, is not allowed during the test itself. This is grounds to invalidate your exam after being reviewed. Cell phones are used for DUO authentication before the beginning of an exam.
     
  • Headphones or Earbuds are not allowed to be worn while testing. Wearing them could result in your exam being invalidated. If you need to have a microphone plugged in to enable Proctorio, just set them to the side during your exam.  
     
  • Watches and hats are not allowed while testing and could result in your exam being invalidated after the fact.
     
  • Restroom breaks are determined by the instructor, which will be communicated with you at the Testing Center. If you get out of your chair, it will be flagged by Honorlock and reported to your instructor.
     
  • No other person is allowed to enter your room while you are taking the proctored exam.
     
  • If the instructor has allowed scratch paper as a test aid, you will need to show the camera both sides of the paper.
  • Make sure all TVs, Monitors, or other Computers in the room are turned off during your test.
     
  • The lighting in the room must be bright enough to be considered daylight quality. Overhead lighting is preferred. If overhead lighting is not available, the source of light must not be behind you while you’re testing.
     
  • No food or drink are allowed while testing.
     
  • Only tools authorized by the instructor are allowed on the student’s desk or lap. 
     
  • You must remain seated and in view of the webcam at all times during the test.
     
  • Disconnecting the camera at any time during the testing session is not permitted.
     
  • Violations of policy could result in a temporary hold being placed on the student’s Canvas Quiz account until the instructor or dean of students has made a determination. 
     
  • You will be required to record your testing area, and the room you are in during your exam.
     
  • If a student has issues with any policies, they are invited to return to their instructor for alternative assessments.
