High-Stakes Exam Options
The following is a list of available options. Faculty may use other equally good options that they may have used before.
Honorlock Proctoring is available for the following Collin College credit courses:

- Blended Courses
Use the decision tree to determine your course delivery method.
Collin College covers the cost of Honorlock. Students will not be responsible for any fees.
Exams proctored by Honorlock without the use of a webcam and microphone are NOT recommended for the following reasons:
- Without a webcam and microphone, there is no assurance for verifying the identity of the student taking the test.
- Honorlock will still charge the college the standard fee for the exam.
Instructor-Proctored Exam:Schedule a computer classroom through the VPP’s office to do on-campus testing. Suggestion: Schedule more than one day/time for testing to take into account social distancing.
Collin Testing Centers:As long as campuses are open and ready to serve students in person, the Collin Testing Centers are available for make-up exams or for students who are having trouble using the technology required for remote tests. Faculty guidelines for testing can be found on this webpage:Faculty Make Up Test Procedures
Contact information for each of the testing centers is available here: Testing Centers at Collin College
iCollin faculty should contact the supervisor at the campus Testing Center the student wishes to take their exam to discuss how to submit exam information.
Other testing centers (instructor responsibility) If an instructor approves the use of remote proctored testing centers, such as another college testing center, it is the instructor’s responsibility to approve the testing center and provide the exams and instructions to the testing center. The student is responsible for any exam fees.
