If you violate any of these policies, you may not receive any credit for the exam or be required to take a make-up exam. You must hold up the cheat sheet (both sides) in front of the camera before you begin the exam to receive credit. Take the exam in a quiet, private space free of background noise, sitting at a desk or table (not on a bed, couch, or in a car). Ensure no people (especially children) or pets are present and avoid bright backgrounds such as windows or lights behind you. You may not leave the room during the exam. Ensure your microphone works and stays on (microphone unmuted). FRONT CAMERA: Keep your full face and upper body visible. SIDE CAMERA: Your setup should resemble the example shown in the photos below with the green check mark.  You must make sure your profile, including your nose, one eye, and your mouth, is clearly visible at all times. Both hands, keyboard, screen, and any permitted materials must also remain visible throughout the exam. Honorlock requires a well-lit space for the side camera to capture you and your workspace. Avoid having a window directly in view of the camera, as it will make you and the workspace harder to see and could cause errors during the exam. During the Exam Use only one computer for the exam. Disconnect and power off all other devices, including cell phones, extra monitors, screens, tablets, iPads, smartwatches, and any similar electronic devices/technology as their use is prohibited. Use of any AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Canva, Perplexity, GitHub Copilot) is strictly prohibited. Do not open other websites, apps, or communication tools (e.g., Teams, Google, ChatGPT, etc.). Only the exam window may be open during the exam. Opening additional tabs, windows, or accessing any online resources is strictly prohibited. Taking photos, screenshots, or sharing exam questions during or after the exam is strictly forbidden. You may not read aloud questions or the answer choices. Remain seated and still; leaving camera view or excessive movement may be flagged.
