Taking a Quiz or Exam in Respondus LockDown Browser

Please be sure you have downloaded Respondus LockDown Browser and are on a compatible device with a stable internet connection. Once you're ready to take the exam, follow the instructions below:

1. Close all programs, unless one is used to connect you to the Internet.
2. Locate the “LockDown Browser” shortcut on the desktop and double-click it. (For Mac users, launch “LockDown Browser” from the Applications folder.)
3. If prompted, either close a blocked program (e.g. screen capture, instant messaging) by choosing Yes. Or, close LockDown Browser and close the blocked program before restarting.
4. A pop-up for "Choose Server" (pictured below) will appear that says "More than one e-learning system is used at your institution. Please select the appropriate system from the list below." If you are at UNT Denton must choose "UNT Denton Canvas". If you are at another institution, select the appropriate option. Then, click "Continue"

4. Log in to your Canvas course.
5. Navigate to the test and select it.
6. If the instructor requires a test password, a new window will appear asking for the Exam Password. Enter the password and click Begin Exam.
7. Begin your exam.

(Note: once a test has been started with Respondus LockDown Browser, you cannot exit until the Submit button is clicked.)

Using a Webcam with Respondus

If your exam requires the use of a webcam (sometimes referred to as Respondus Monitor), follow steps 1-5 above and then you'll be guided through a brief set of screens prior to the start of the exam. The first screen is a webcam check, where you can make sure the webcam is working properly.
Note: Additional steps may be required by your instructor, such as showing your identification, or recording a brief video of your examination setting.
