This feature is limited to a pilot group
Honorlock is currently being pilot tested by a select group of courses during the Spring 2026 semester. If you do not see Honorlock in your course menu, your instructor/course is not part of the pilot.
What is Honorlock?
Honorlock is a remote proctoring service that uses a combination of AI tools, live proctors, and a Chrome browser extension to secure the testing environment in WebCampus/Canvas. When students are required to use Honorlock with a quiz, they can be restricted from visiting other websites, printing, copying or accessing other applications while completing a test.

Taking an Honorlock Quiz
Get Acquainted with Honorlock: Look for a practice exam or quiz in your WebCampus course. If your instructor has not created a practice quiz that requires Honorlock, you can also use Honorlock's student tutorial,
HonorPrep, to preview the Honorlock experience prior to completing a real exam or quiz.
If you run into any issues during any of the steps below or while you're taking the quiz, click on Need help? or Chat icon to start a chat session with Honorlock support.
Taking Your WebCampus Quizzes with Honorlock
These steps below are for using Honorlock with WebCampus/Canvas quizzes. If your instructor is administering your exam outside of WebCampus in a third party site such as McGraw Hill or WebAssign, please see instructions in the How to Use Honorlock with a Universal Exam (Test Takers) guide.
- From your WebCampus course, click on the link to your quiz/exam OR click on Honorlock 1.3 in the course menu and click on the Launch button to the right of the Exam title. Note: Your exam timer will not start until you click the Start Assessment button in step 7.
- Review and accept Honorlock's Terms of Service and Test Taker Privacy Notice policy before continuing on to the System Check.
- Review the System Compatibility and run a system check if necessary.
- Review Assessment Guidelines for what you are allowed and not allowed to do during the exam. (This will vary depending on what is enabled by your instructor)
- Review the Authentication settings to see what will be required for this exam (This will vary depending on what is enabled by your instructor) and click Begin Authentication. A small Honorlock window will open. Follow the prompts to complete each authentication step required to proceed.
A complete list and screenshots of all possible Honorlock Proctoring authentication steps can be found in the Honorlock Test Taker guide.
ID Verification: If your instructor requires you to
verify your identification, Honorlock uses AI for this step. When you either use your webcam or upload your picture ID, Honorlock will scan your ID for your name. If the name on your ID is completely different from your legal name in WebCampus, verification might fail. Please inform your instructor prior to the start of the exam if you will be using an ID that contains your preferred name. They can add a note to alert the Honorlock proctors. Acceptable forms of IDs are school/institution IDs, driver’s licenses, and passports.
- Once you complete all authentication steps, you will be prompted to click on Focus Test Window.
- Click on Start Assessment and your WebCampus quiz will load in the main browser window.
- Click Submit Quiz after answering all questions.
- An optional Honorlock Survey prompt will appear. Enter your response to the survey or click Skip to end your Honorlock session.
