What is Honorlock?
Honorlock is an online proctoring service used by Franklin University. To get started with your exam while being proctored by Honorlock, students need a computer with a webcam and microphone as well as the Honorlock Chrome extension.
For more information about proctoring services allowed in your course, please visit your course in Canvas. Many courses are equipped with a course object entitled Student Proctored Exams with such information.
Navigating to Honorlock
Navigation to Honorlock can be found in your course left-hand navigation menu.
Getting Ready Before Your Exam
Here are steps you can take before you exam to be prepared for a successful venture using Honorlock.
Step 1 - Verify Your Computer Will Meet the Requirements for Honorlock
Honorlock requires the use of a webcam and microphone. To see a full list of system requirements for using Honorlock, please click here. Next, to run a system check, please click here.
Step 2 - Remove ProctorU Browser Extension
Uninstall the ProctorU browser extension from Google Chrome. Students who took courses prior to Fall term of 2024 may have used ProctorU for online proctoring. The Honorlock browser extension will likely interfere with a pre-existing ProctorU browser extension.
