Students who take their math course asynchronously, will take their exams online, proctored through Honorlock.
Exam Policies
Code of Academic Integrity
The Code of Academic Integrity will be enforced in all areas of the course, including, but not limited to, assessments and online assignments. For more information about the Code of Academic Integrity policies and procedures, including information about your rights and responsibilities as a student, visit the University's Student Academic Integrity Resources website.
Students are encouraged to share intellectual views and discuss freely the principles and applications of course materials. However, graded work/exercises must be the product of independent effort unless otherwise instructed. Students are expected to adhere to the U of A Code of Academic Integrity as described in the U of A General Catalog. Visit the University's Code of Academic Integrity website.
Students found to be in violation of the Code are subject to penalties ranging from a loss of credit for work involved to a failing grade in the course, and the risk of possible suspension or probation. Failing to observe the following rules of academic integrity established by the instructor for this course is considered a potential violation of the Code of Academic Integrity and will be handled accordingly.
Rules:
- Students are not permitted to use outside resources during proctored such as:
- Artificial Intelligence (in apps like ChatGPT, Photo Math, Math Way...)
- A second monitor
- Use of a cellphone or unauthorized devices such as smart watches or handheld calculators
- Other unauthorized resources/materials
- Students may not submit other people’s work as their own for assignments or assessments.
- Students are required to stay within view of the webcam throughout the session.
Exam Attendance
Students who complete an exam AND follow all exam procedures will be marked “Present” for the exam and will be graded as indicated by the syllabus. If any exam procedure is not followed or the exam is not taken, the student will be marked “NOT Present” and will receive a score of zero for that exam. Students must follow ALL exam procedures in order to be marked “Present” for the exam. See the list below for all exam procedures.
Excused Absences Policy:
Religious holidays listed on the University of Arizona Registrar’s webpage and activity excuses will be honored according to the U of A Official Activity Excused Absence policy. View the Calendar of Religious Holidays.
Students are responsible for arranging in advance to make up missed work or material in a timely manner. For more information: View the University's Religious Accommodation Policy.
Proctored Exam Replacement/Missed Exam Policy
Exam Replacement Policy:
Your lowest midterm exam percentage score (including the possibility of a score of zero) will be replaced by the final exam percentage score, if your final exam percentage score is higher.
- If two or more of your lowest exam scores are identical, only one may be replaced.
- Any exam score that has been modified due to a violation of the Code of Academic Integrity where a report has been filed and upheld is not eligible for replacement.
Because this course includes a final exam replacement policy, any exam for which a student is marked “NOT Present” will receive a grade of 0 (zero), and there will generally be no make-up exams.
- For the first completed assessment that was marked “NOT Present”, students will be able to take the “Restore-Your-Score Quiz”.
- Proper completion of the “Restore-Your-Score Quiz” will replace the 0 (zero) that was earned on the assessment for which you were marked “Not Present”, with the score based on your original responses on that assessment.
- The “Restore-Your-Score Quiz” can only be applied to one assessment.
- In the case of extreme and unusual circumstances surrounding multiple exams for which a student is marked “NOT Present”, a make-up exam may be granted at the instructor’s discretion.
- If a make-up exam is granted, it must be completed within the timeframe specified by the instructor, generally within one week of the testing window.
- Note: An unsatisfactory score on a previous exam does not constitute extreme or unusual circumstances.

Exam Procedures (C3‑SWEEPS)
All steps must be completed to be marked “Present.”
Step | Action |
|---|---|
| Start Exam | Open your exam in Google Chrome using Honorlock. After authentication, wait until you see Question #1, then begin the checklist below. Once the exam starts, you are required to stay within view of the webcam throughout the session. |
| C3 – Chrome & 3 Tabs | Confirm you are using Google Chrome. If not, close the browser, open Chrome, and re‑authenticate through Honorlock. In addition to Honorlock & D2L Brightspace, have these three browser tabs open:
|
| S – Side‑View & Setup | Select your side‑view webcam. Sit at a desk or table with only approved materials visible. Remove all other items from your desk and cover extra monitors with a towel. |
| W – Webcam Window | Open the Webcam Window from the Honorlock toolbar. Check that your face and desk are clearly visible with good lighting. |
| E – Extend Arms | Extend your arms from your head out to the side (wildcat ears). If your hands are not fully visible in the webcam window, move the webcam farther back (about 3 feet) or raise it higher by putting it on a box. |
| E – Extend Body Forward | Lean forward as if writing. If your body blocks the desk view, move the webcam to the side or raise it to eye level. |
| P2 – Paper & Phone | SLOWLY show all test booklet pages, front and back, one at a time. Then show your cell phone and place it face down on the desk, within camera view. |
| S – Show & Submit | Before exiting Honorlock, SLOWLY show all test pages (used and unused), front and back, to the webcam. Use your phone to photograph each page and upload them to D2L Brightspace. |
Having Issues?
If you become disconnected from Honorlock or have a technical issue:
The possibility of a make-up attempt for extreme and unusual circumstances will ONLY be considered for the second exam that is marked as “NOT Present”. Situations like:
- Power outage
- Loss of internet connectivity
- Sudden severe illness for you or your family that interrupts your exam time or keeps you from starting
will be handled individually by the instructor. In order to be considered for a make-up exam the following steps must be followed:
STEP 1: Use the Live Chat tool on the Honorlock website to reconnect to the exam, as you will be locked out of it. Using the Live Chat also provides a way to document your attempt to reconnect, since your chat history is downloadable.
If you cannot reconnect:
STEP 2: Contact your instructor immediately.
