What if I use ProctorHub, Respondus Lockdown Browser or Honorlock and a student asks for specific testing accommodations such as breaks?

If you use a test proctoring system, students with disabilities may need certain testing accommodations to look from the computer for a brief period of time (such as restroom breaks, use of scratch paper, looking at a CCTV, use of a reader, etc.).

SAS recommends the following if you are using a test proctoring system and a student needs certain testing accommodations:

• ProctorHub and Respondus Lockdown Brower: These tools are passive testing tools that do not take specific action during the test itself. With ProctorHub you are provided footage of the exam after the fact to review as necessary.  The student is recommended to notify you prior to the test to explain any behaviors or actions that you may see when reviewing the exam. The student may not be looking at the computer screen continuously or there may be a different arrangement for the exam due to the student’s accommodations.  The notification by the student can help explain any behaviors or actions you may see when reviewing exam footage. Contact SAS if you have questions.

• Honorlock:  This test proctoring system is more active and can pause an exam if unexpected actions occur during the test. You can list student accommodations in the test settings to guide proctors during the exam.  SAS recommends students contact you if they have any specific accommodations that they want to be sure are listed within the Honorlock system.  SAS may also contact you on behalf of the student to discuss accommodations for the exams.
  More information on how to add accommodations to Honorlock can be found on the Honorlock support webpage.
