NOTE
Time needed: 5 minutes
To download and install the Respondus LockDown Browser, simply follow these steps:
- First, you will need the link provided by your institution or university. For example, this would be what a link to the app would like for the University of Victoria.
- You will then be taken to the Respondus download page. While the website should detect that you’re using a Mac, you may need to click the button that says Do you need the Mac version?
- Click Download. Ensure that your antivirus software will allow you to download it. Otherwise, you will need to shut off your antivirus.
- Double-click the app to install it once it is downloaded. It is likely in your Downloads folder. This will begin the installation process. (You may need the password to your Mac).
- Follow the steps on the screen to install the Respondus LockDown Browser. Note that some universities may require you to click a link to a test or quiz in a traditional browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc…) during which Respondus will then open automatically.
That’s all there is to it! From here, you will now be able to use the Respondus LockDown Browser for test and quiz-taking.
