What to do if I accidentally disconnect from my exam?

Importance of Reconnecting Promptly:

If your connection drops during your exam, it's crucial to swiftly reconnect with your proctor as soon as your internet is stable. This could occur due to Wi-Fi issues or accidentally closing your exam window. Failing to reconnect promptly might result in losing your exam progress and being flagged for official academic review. After submitting your exam, kindly ensure that the proctor has recorded your completion score. Please keep in mind Honorlock must be active to re-enter a proctored exam that has been accidentally closed or refreshed.
