Please note this information is subject to change. It is recommended you call the campus library ahead of time to verify how many computers (if any) have Respondus before going. The Testing Center locations also should have computers with this software.
It can be tricky to know which Respondus Lockdown Browser will work for your test, because there are multiple versions now. Some computers have the version installed for TCC. Pearson, for example has their own version. So if a Math student comes in to take a test for example and is using Pearson the student will need the Pearson version of the Lock Down Browser, even though the test is accessed through TCC’s blackboard.
Metro Campus Library - has Respondus on all computers
Southeast Campus Library - has Respondus on all computers
Northeast Campus Library and Facet Center - all computers in Facet should have Respondus and the single study room has it as of 2/13/25.
West Campus Library - has Respondus on all computers
