Overview

Respondus LockDown Browser is a secure browser tool that prevents students from accessing external resources during proctored assessments administered in testing centers and computer labs (it is installed on Windows computers in the STCs). While taking assessments using LockDown Browser, students are unable to print, copy, go to other web pages, or access other applications. Once students start their assessments, they are locked into them until they submit them for grading. LockDown Browser is available for use in Canvas.

Download and install Respondus LockDown Browser

If an instructor requires you to use Respondus LockDown Browser for added security when taking a test or quiz, you'll need to download and install Respondus LockDown Browser before you can start the test or quiz.

Instructors need to edit the exam settings to allow Chromebooks and iPads to access Respondus LockDown Browser. The LockDown Browser extension for Chromebook is in a beta release phase, and may be less reliable than the versions for Windows or macOS. Android tablets cannot use Respondus LockDown Browser.

To download and install Respondus LockDown Browser:

1. Go to your Canvas course site and click the link for the quiz that requires Respondus LockDown Browser.

3. Click Download Respondus LockDown Browser or navigate to Download LockDown Browser.

If the filename does not have the correct ID at the end, the installer will fail.
     3. Open the downloaded file and follow the installation instructions.
   • On a Chromebook:
     1. You will be redirected to the LockDown Browser extension in the Chrome Web Store. Click Add to Chrome.
     2. When the extension has been installed, you will see a screen telling you to go to the quiz in your LMS to continue.
