Viewing Honorlock Results

Caution

Students should make sure to close all browser tabs and the Honorlock authentication pop-up when done with each exam to avoid situations where a recording might go beyond the submission of the exam. 

After students complete an exam that uses Honorlock, instructors should view the entire recording for each student to ensure that all course policies have been followed during the exam session. The Honorlock AI flags are tools to help you focus on moments that may need a closer look, but they are not intended as a replacement for instructional staff personally verifying the results.  

Caution

Exam results and recordings that contain students' Photo IDs are considered Restricted (S4) according to Ohio State’s Institutional Data Policy. S4 data requires the highest level of protection and users accessing the information are required to complete the Institutional Data Policy training through BuckeyeLearn annually. S4 data should not be downloaded or stored on personal devices and should be encrypted if shared with the Committee on Academic Misconduct (COAM). If you are using Ohio State issued hardware and cloud services, your data will be encrypted.
