How To Download Respondus Lockdown Browser For Canvas Uta

LockDown Browser integrates seamlessly with Blackboard, Brightspace, Canvas, Moodle, Sakai and Schoology. Over 1,500 institutions use LockDown Browser with their LMS, making it one of the leading third-party tools for learning systems. In order to take exams in your Canvas course, you will need to download and use Respondus Lockdown Browser, which is a secure browser that will prohibit you from using other programs on your computer while you are taking some tests. We strongly recommend you download this browser off campus, as you may have difficulties downloading it on campus.

Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom browser which ensures a student's desktop can only access a Canvas Quiz. It is based on the same system components and settings that make up Internet Explorer (Windows) and Safari (Mac) browsers already installed on computers.

LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within Canvas. When students use Lockdown Browser they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications.
