Some more prevalent questions regarding using Honorlock:

Note:

  • Before installing, you may scroll down to see any additional instructions
  • Ignore the "Quiz Password" field. 

2) Why is it prompting me for a password?

 Answer #1 - for 3rd party software:

 If your test is taken through a 3rd party site (such as MindTap, MyEconLab, etc) then the password will be automatically inserted when you click the "Insert Password" button provided. You do not need to know what the password is. For more info, and a short tutorial video click on this link: https://honorlock.kb.help/how-to-use-honorlock-student/

  • Note: After watching the video above, if you still have problems with the password, use the “Livechat” feature to reach Honorlock tech support.

Answer #2 - for D2L quizzes: If your test is taken strictly through your course's D2L page, then you do not need to know what the password is. Click the "Launch Proctoring" button directly to go to the quiz -  do not try to start the quiz through the "Show Quiz Details" button. (You  may need to scroll down in order to see the “Launch Proctoring” button.)

 See screenshots below:

3) Can I take the test on campus instead of using my own computer?

Answer: Yes, you may come to campus during regular service hours.

If you do not have the appropriate device, you may come to a Normandale campus computer lab, or to the Make-up Testing Center (Room L2740). Or, contact your instructor for further instructions. 

4) What do I do if I have problems with Honorlock?

Honorlock provides live chat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, which you can access directly from D2L. Look for the “Livechat” link:
