Once Installed
- Start LockDown Browser
- Log into Blackboard Learn

Guidelines
When taking an online test, follow these guidelines:
- [If testing is to occur at a designated location, such as a testing center, add those instructions here.]
- [If applicable] Select a location where you won't be interrupted
- Before starting the test, know how much time is available for it, and also that you've allotted sufficient time to complete it
- Turn off all mobile devices, phones, etc. and don't have them within reach
- Clear your area of all external materials - books, papers, other computers, or devices
- Remain at your desk or workstation for the duration of the test
- LockDown Browser will prevent you from accessing other websites or applications; you will be unable to exit the test until all questions are completed and submitted
Getting Help
Several resources are available if you encounter problems with LockDown Browser:
- The Windows and Mac versions of LockDown Browser have a "Help Center" button located on the toolbar. Use the "System & Network Check" to troubleshoot issues. If an exam requires you to use a webcam, also run the "Webcam Check" from this area
- [As applicable, insert information about your institution's help desk, including details about how to contact them. Some help desks want students to run the "System & Network Check" and the "Webcam Check" before they are contacted - and even, to forward the results of these checks at the time of opening a ticket.]
- Respondus has a Knowledge Base available from support.respondus.com. Select the "Knowledge Base" link and then select "Respondus LockDown Browser" as the product. If your problem is with a webcam, select "Respondus Monitor" as your product
- If you're still unable to resolve a technical issue with LockDown Browser, go to support.respondus.com and select "Submit a Ticket". Provide detailed information about your problem and what steps you took to resolve it
If the ACC Testing Center Opens up, you can take the test at a ACC Testing Center. Students are allowed to bring up to 3 pages of notes to take the test. This exam will be based off the Chapter Quizzes from Blackboard, so use them as reference & study material. Based on the length of the test, you should plan on arriving at a minimum of 2 hours before the testing center closes. You can not leave the testing center without finishing the test.
