O.3 What is a proctored exam?

Proctored Exams Section

Some courses require the use of Honorlock proctoring software to protect academic integrity during certain course activities. While active, this software uses your computer's webcam and microphone to record video and audio, while other technology monitors your activity, including your screen and web navigation.

You will need a computer (not a phone or tablet) with a microphone and webcam and one of the compatible operating systems listed in Honorlock's Minimum Requirements table. Additionally, you will need to use Chrome and download the Honorlock Chrome Extension.

The information collected by Honorlock is confidential and will only be used for legitimate academic and educational purposes. For further information, see the Penn State Honorlock privacy statement and Honorlock’s Student Data Privacy & Security information.

If you have any technical issues or questions, please reach out to Honorlock support via live chat on the Honorlock support page or through the exam itself.
