Felician University uses Honorlock to proctor online placement tests. Honorlock is an on-demand proctoring service that allows you to take your exams anywhere, any time.  All you need is a laptop with a webcam and the Honorlock Chrome extension.

What do I need to know before taking my exam?

Before taking your exam, ensure that your device meets our system requirements by using the system check at Honorlock Support. Ensure your device is charged and you have a stable internet connection. You must use Google Chrome for your exam. We recommend students take their exams in a quiet, private location with adequate lighting to limit potential flags or distractions.

Why do I need a photo ID? What forms of ID are acceptable?

We verify the name on your ID to ensure you are the correct test taker and log a photo of the ID. You can use any government-issued ID (i.e. driver’s license, passport) or a student ID that has your photo. For Honorlock to validate your ID, you need to ensure that your ID is in English.

What if something goes wrong during my exam?

Don’t worry, Honorlock offers technical support 24/7 to assist students before, during, and after their proctored tests. If you need any assistance, click the chat bubble in the lower-right of your screen and a support agent will be there to help!

Am I being watched by a proctor during my exam?

Yes and no. We use AI technology to monitor your session. If it detects certain actions, such as leaving the testing area, it may prompt a live proctor to review your session and conduct a live pop-in to discuss it with you. The proctor will help you get back on track and send any notes about the incident to your instructor. After your test, one of our exam proctors may review the exam session to look for any potential violations, and the recording will also be sent to Felician. Ultimately, your instructor determines if cheating occurred by viewing the video recording.

What about accessibility and students with special needs?

Honorlock is VPAT certified and fully accessible to students with special needs. Additionally, Honorlock works with screen readers if needed. Please call 201-559-6047 for assistance.
