Purpose
This article explains how to download and test the Respondus LockDown Browser through Student Resources, or alternatively, how to download the browser and launch an exam.
Background
Some of your online exams may require the Respondus LockDown Browser. To take that test, you must download the browser first.
Note
Windows and Mac computers work far better with Respondus than IPads and Chromebooks
The application link is college-specific. If you have used Respondus at another institution, you must delete and update it with the Cochise College information
