Respondus Information for Students
Respondus Information for Students
Background/Purpose
Respondus was chosen as the automated proctoring solution for students testing at home. Testing is available 24/7, as is technical support.
Student Guide
Please access the Respondus Student Guide to familiarize yourself with Respondus. This document provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on what to expect when testing through Respondus. If testing remotely, your instructor may require both Respondus Lockdown Browser and Respondus Monitor.
Second Camera
Some instructors may require the use of a second camera when taking an exam with Respondus Monitor. If a second camera is required for your exam, you will use a separate device, such as a smartphone or tablet, to provide an additional camera view during testing. Respondus will guide you through connecting and positioning the device as part of the exam startup process.
Watch Setting Up a Second Camera for Respondus Monitor – Student Perspective to see how the setup process works.
