Respondus LockDown Browser

Below is an overview of Respondus LockDown Browser at NDSU.

Overview

The Respondus LockDown Browser prevents printing, copying, pasting, and access to other applications or websites. Most browser menu and toolbar options are removed, and right-click options are disabled during an exam. At NDSU, Respondus LockDown Browser is compatible with Mac and Windows but not Chromebooks. 

Please note is not recommended to use Respondus LockDown Browser with Honorlock.
