Lockdown Browser for Students

Why Lockdown Browser

Respondus LockDown Browser creates a restricted test-taking environment. The Respondus LockDown Browser does not allow other windows to be opened during the quiz and helps mitigate cheating. As a student, the Respondus LockDown Browser prevents you from printing, copying text, going to another URL, or accessing other applications.

How to Install Lockdown Browser

Students can access LockDown Browser by installing it on their PC, Mac, or iPad (access via iPad requires additional setup by instructors). Loaner laptops are available on campus for students who do not have access to compatible devices.

Toggle Drawer: Downloading Respondus Lockdown Browser

LockDown Browser can also be downloaded directly from the unique Respondus LockDown Browser URL for Montclair State University

Students who attempt to take a Canvas quiz that requires LockDown Browser from any other browser will be directed to download LockDown Browser

Respondus Monitor (Lockdown Browser + Webcam)
