This article will teach you how to change the settings in Honorlock proctoring and make note of any accommodations.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Only classes that are 100% online can use Honorlock for testing. If you are teaching a class that isn’t 100% online, then we recommend Respondus Lockdown Browser with Monitor.

When you set up a test to use Honorlock, after saving you will usually see the Honorlock screen that allows you to change your settings. However, if you do not see this screen or you are going back to a test to choose your settings after your initial setup then you follow these steps:
