Honorlock is an online auto-proctoring tool that can be linked to quizzes in Canvas. It is important to consider accommodations for students prior to using Honorlock as the students' accommodations may generate additional flags for review and/or may conflict with standard instructions you provide to students taking the quiz.

This document is part of an Honorlock guide series, Honorlock - Implementing disability-related accommodations (Instructors). or view the following steps for implementing Student Accommodations using Honorlock.

Steps for Implementing Student Accommodations

1. Review known issues and limitations of Honorlock
2. Setting up accommodations or bypass proctoring in Honorlock
3. Discuss accommodation plans with individual students (this document)
4. Document individual accommodation plans
5. Add extended time and accommodate timed assessments

Scheduling

• All scheduling is still done in Canvas Quizzes. 
• Determine a time/date that the student will take the exam, taking into account extended-time accommodations and other scheduling related accommodations, such as one exam per day or morning/afternoon exams.  
• Make sure that the exam start and end times are clear.
• You may need to use the Canvas Quizzes "Assign to" functionality on the quiz Edit screen to "+Add" a different day and/or time window if the student(s) is taking the exam at a different time than the rest of the class.

Extended Time

• Instructors add extra time in Canvas Quizzes. Students with extended time can then check-in Canvas Quizzes to view their "Available" and "Time Limit" once the instructor has added the extended time.

Other accommodations that conflict with Standard Rules

• Discuss accommodations that the student will use during the exam.
• Discuss accommodations or proctoring exemptions that the student may have that may conflict with Honorlock settings or instructions you provide.
• Discuss other actions that may be flagged by Honorlock but not documented on the Faculty Notification Letter.  For example, some students with "Testing Alone" as an accommodation may read questions aloud, which will be flagged in Honorlock.
• Note: The conversation should focus on documenting which of the approved accommodations the student is using and reassuring/reinforcing that the student can use their accommodations without being penalized even though they may conflict with Honorlock's warnings or instructions you give to the class, as long as they maintain general class and campus academic integrity rules.  Furthermore, you should let them know that they will not see the proctoring flags during the exams and that is flagged for use of accommodations is for a review and does not mean that academic misconduct has occurred.

Accessibility

• Ask if the student is able to complete the step to scan their ID
• Discuss any concerns that student has with the accessibility of Honorlock and follow up with the DoIT Help Desk or McBurney Center Access Consultant with any concerns.
• Set up a representative practice exam in Canvas with Honorlock as soon as possible and ask student to try it as soon as possible.
