Honorlock is a browser extension and works only with Google Chrome. Students must use Google Chrome to take their exam.

Students will be prompted to download the Honorlock extension when they open the exam.

Before you begin, you must have a link to your MindTap exam published in Canvas. However, students should not access the exam directly through this link.
