What's the latest?

To accommodate our faculty over the break and support our Winter Session faculty, Digital Learning will offer Live Support via chat M-F 11:00am to 3:00pm. During this time, you may post your questions in our Live Support Chat in Teams, and a team member will be available to assist.

Please note that USF has updated the Honorlock syllabus statement. Any faculty using Honorlock will be required to include this updated version in their upcoming Spring semester course syllabus. You can access the updated version on our Honorlock page or on the USF Syllabus Template. 

Additionally, as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance exam security in online courses, USF will pilot two new Honorlock features in Spring 2026: the Honorlock App and the Side Camera View. While these tools will appear in the Honorlock settings, we strongly recommend that faculty do not enable them unless they are participating in the pilot with Innovative Education, as both features require additional setup for instructors and students (e.g., an external webcam for the Side Camera View). If you would like to join the pilot or have questions about these features, please email us. email us.
