Why do I need a code for my exam?
As a reminder, taking college-level exams in an online environment requires maintaining academic integrity. If your institution does not offer in-person proctoring, you are required to use Honorlock to complete your exams independently and entirely online. Online proctored sessions will not require an access code or password to begin.
Please note for those who may have this option available at their school, that exam passwords or access codes will only be requested by authorized teachers and administrators at support@tel-education.org.
