Respondus LockDown Browser should not be used for:
- minor tests (on-course assessment)
- formative assessment
- assignments
- tests requiring the use of other applications (except Excel spreadsheets)

Please note: The Respondus Lockdown Browser app for iPad (iOS) and Chromebooks (ChromeOS) is not currently supported at JCU.
Off-campus students must use a desktop or laptop computer and install Respondus Lockdown Browser using the link above.
