I suppose so, since there is a verb following it, but please supply at least the sentence.

'Except' by itself is a preposition.
'Except' functions as a conjunction when used with 'that'.
She told me everything except that she was an orphan.

Except that 'that' can sometime be omitted, especially informally:
Except (that) the Lord build the house....
She told me everything except (that) she was an orphan.
Except (that) the Lord build the house....
She told me everything except (that) she was an orphan.
