- Before exam day, students should download and install the UHCL-specific Respondus Lockdown browser on their computer by using the following link: UHCL-specific LockDown Browser Download and Information for Students. NOTE: We have seen an increasing number of students trying to download the wrong Respondus product so putting the UHCL-specific Respondus Lockdown browser link in your course may help.
- On the day of the exam, students should make sure they access the exam in Blackboard only by opening and using the UHCL-specific Respondus Lockdown Browser. NOTE: Using any other browser to access the exam will bring them to the exam’s password page. The “password” is not one that instructors give students; the password is automatically entered when clicking the exam in Blackboard from the Respondus Lockdown Browser ONLY.
For more helpful information and videos on Respondus Lockdown Browser, view the Student Information and Faculty Information tabs located at https://www.uhcl.edu/computing/course-development/online-proctoring-resources. As always, if you have any questions about the above information, please feel free to contact the Support Center at either 281-283-2828 or supportcenter@uhcl.edu, and a member of our team will be in touch to assist.
