Honorlock to support ACCS institutions with
access to the leading proctoring solution to strengthen academic
integrity, greatly improve accessibility and provide actionable
insights
Honorlock, an online proctoring company for higher and
professional education, has been named the preferred online
proctoring solution for the Alabama Community College System
(ACCS). The system consists of 24 public community and technical
colleges, including the Alabama Technology Network, and Marion
Military Institute – one of five junior military colleges in the
nation.
Honorlock will enable the ACCS system members to easily
implement remote proctoring to allow students to take exams on or
off-campus, offering flexibility and greater accessibility while
maintaining the integrity of the exams, instructors and college
reputation.
Honorlock proctoring provides oversight of exams through both
human and AI monitoring, allows live proctors to assist test takers
in the event of a problem, and permits candidates to complete
online testing at their convenience from any location.
“The ACCS has a large footprint across Alabama with schools
covering a wide range of student learners,” said Michael Hemlepp,
CEO of Honorlock. “Honorlock is pleased to partner with them to
provide an online proctoring solution that will uphold academic
integrity while creating greater access for students in rural areas
and providing flexibility for all student needs.”
The move to Honorlock is part of a major systemwide initiative
to transform and uphold the academic integrity of its learning
experience and increase student success. Comprised of community and
technical colleges with 130 locations across the state, the ACCS
offers 2-to-4-year transfer, dual enrollment, technical training,
adult education and community education for Alabama residents. Some
of the system’s degree and certification programs are fully
online.
“As we continue working to modernize and strengthen our edtech
tools for student learners, we’re pleased to add Honorlock to our
tool kit,” said Ben Rosebrock, Vice Chancellor for Information
Technology at the Alabama Community College System. “We evaluated
several proctoring solutions and selected Honorlock as the best
solution for our colleges to uphold academic integrity while
supporting student success and outcomes.”
Honorlock was already in use at several of the ACCS’ member
schools, including Coastal Alabama Community College. Since
implementation, Honorlock has helped the college raise the bar for
effective, accessible, remote testing. Honorlock enabled all
students—from high school to fully online students and students who
had been on campus, including those within communities that had low
bandwidth or were using Chromebooks to access tests with the
highest levels of security and privacy. Honorlock also provided a
tool to streamline identity and attendance verification for
accreditation and federal funding requirements.

About ACCS Alabama’s community and technical colleges
were merged into one system May 3, 1963, when legislators laid the
groundwork for a unified system of institutions to focus on
accessible training in “arts and sciences and in useful skills and
trades” for current and future labor needs. Sixty years have
passed, but that important cause remains the singular purpose of
the Alabama Community College System (ACCS). With 24 community and
technical colleges in more than 130 locations and an economic
impact of $6.6 billion, the ACCS is Alabama’s gateway to
first-class, affordable education and technical training to compete
in a constantly evolving workforce. An estimated 155,000 Alabamians
benefit from the various certification, credential, dual enrollment
and degree programs the ACCS offers alongside leading industry
partners. The System includes the Alabama Technology Network, which
provides extensive training and service offerings directly to
business and industry, and the ACCS Innovation Center, which
provides rapid skills training through its Skills for Success
program. The ACCS is governed by the Alabama Community College
System Board of Trustees.
