Your instructor may have created Respondus LockDown Browser enabled quizzes. These quizzes will require a special browser that must be installed prior to taking the quiz. LockDown Browser is a locked browser that prevents you from printing, copying, going to another page, or using outside tools during the quiz. LockDown enabled quizzes will not allow you to take the quiz on a standard browser.
*If your computer is in S Mode, you will have to switch out of S Mode in order to download the Respondus Lockdown Browser. For instructions on how to switch out of S Mode, please check out our "Unable to Download Applications on Computer/ S Mode" article under the Software heading in the Knowledge Base.
