Honorlock, an online proctoring tool, will be used during this course. Honorlock offers you flexibility to take your exams at the time and in the location of your choosing during the exam’s availability window. Technology requirements: Students are required to have a webcam (USB or internal) with a microphone, allow for screen recording, and have a strong and stable internet connection, Testing environment: During the course of an exam, Honorlock will record the testing environment, therefore students should select private spaces for the exam session where disruptions are unlikely and where recording devices can be enabled. Instructions for Honrolock use will be provided. Limitations: To use Honorlock you must be over 18 years of age or have the Online Course Recording Waiver on file. Additionally, the tool has limitations in its accessibility for students reliant upon screen readers and keyboard navigation. Additional information on academic integrity at Ohio State and recommended proctoring options are available. Academic integrity and academic misconduct: Please note that while Honorlock settings may flag suspected cheating during exams, these automatic measures do not constitute a determination of academic misconduct. Any suspicion of misconduct will be referred to the Committee on Academic Misconduct and evaluated through a fair and transparent process. Students may request an in-person proctoring alternative to Honorlock or other online proctoring tools. The student is expected to contact the instructor as soon as possible to coordinate the accommodation. Students will not be permitted to take remotely proctored exams in their homes or residence halls unless they are willing to conduct a room scan. By choosing to take the exam in their home or residence hall, the student is consenting to the room scan of the area in which they take the exam. Honorlock support is available 24/7/365. If you encounter any issues, you may contact them through live chat on the support page or within the exam itself. Or you can also reach out to carmen@osu.edu or call 614-688-HELP and talk to the Carmen eLearning team. If you have concerns about using an online proctoring tool for the reasons listed above or in general, please work with your instructor to find an equivalent alternative.
