A Note about Test & Quizzes

You are able to view, complete, and submit assignments and tests right in the app. Important note: Tests may not be mobile compatible. Testing options selected by your instructor may prevent testing on the mobile app. Always take exams in the most stable environment possible which may be a computer browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc. Additionally, your instructor may require you to take exams using the Respondus Lockdown Browser which is not mobile compatible.
