Exams not scheduled using the portal
It is not necessary to schedule exam appointments in the Proctored Exams Portal to complete exams online with Honorlock or take paper exams at an off-campus test center.
Exams with the virtual proctor
You simply complete the Practice Exam in ICON to ensure your device is compatible, then take the exam within the designated exam window.
Scheduling paper exams with an off-campus proctor
Instead, identify an alternate test center and submit details for approval. Once your proctor is approved you can schedule an appointment at that location.
