Honorlock Issue RESOLVED

An updated Honorlock extension has been approved and is now available to be added in Chrome. The next time students attempt to take an Honorlock proctored exam, they will be prompted to update their Honorlock extension to the newest version (Version  6.6.1). Updating their Honorlock extension to Version 6.6.1 will resolve the issues experienced over the weekend. 

Honorlock Issue

Honorlock is currently experiencing two distinct issues currently being encountered while students are attempting to take an Honorlock proctored exam. 

Honorlock has been working diligently to determine the specific root causes behind these issues and they are currently working on a fix that they believe will prevent these from occurring on future exams. This change will occur as part of an extension update and will require Google approval. As such, we expect this update to be available by Monday, June 5th.

Additional communication will be sent once this extension release has been approved and made available to your students.
