Yes, with some caveats.
You can download the Respondus LockDown Browser here, or from canvasinfo.unm.edu > External Apps > External App Integrations > Respondus Lockdown Browser & Monitor.
You instructor may also have a link in Canvas; if they do, make sure to download the program via that link, as it will have their required settings already enabled.
Note: You may not be able to use Respondus LockDown Browser on library computers if your instructor has also enabled Respondus Monitor. Respondus Monitor uses features like live proctoring, environment checks, etc. If you're unable to access your test via library computers because of this requirement, we would encourage you to contact your instructor to make alternative arrangements.
