It is likely that your instructor(s) will be giving you online tests using a secure test-taking web browser called Respondus LockDown Browser and may also require the use of an additional feature called Monitor.

LockDown Browser/Monitor DOES WORK with the following Operating Systems:

Again, you MUST take your test in the LockDown Browser if your instructor requires it. Open LockDown Browser. Sign into Okta and then go to Blackboard to access the test in your course in that browser instead of your normal browser.
For complete download and installation instructions, go to the guide called LockDown Browser Installation - Student View available at https://libguides.sctech.edu/student_lockdown_browser_installation. You can find the link needed to download the browser in that LibGuide.
Please follow ALL instructions to reduce your likelihood of needing to submit a helpdesk ticket.
