Identity Management Maintenance
May 20-23rd, 2025
As part of ongoing efforts to improve user experience and enhance IT security, the Identity Management team will be migrating a key system to the cloud from May 20 to 23. There is no impact expected for existing university users, though new student and employee accounts assigned during this time will be created after this maintenance window. ISS and OIT are working with multiple departments and vendors campuswide to implement this migration quickly and effectively. Please contact the OIT Service Desk at 303-724-4357 if you encounter any issues.

Respondus Lockdown Browser is an application that can be used within the Canvas LMS to create a secure testing environment by blocking the use of additional applications including other websites during an exam.
There are two options that instructors can use with Respondus: The Lockdown Browser and/or Monitor. Monitor functions as a remote Proctor by recording test takers through their webcams.
Students can download the Lockdown Browser from the link in the navigation for the Canvas class they are taking. Once the application is downloaded, it can be used for any CU Denver or CU Anschutz class that requires Lockdown Browser or Monitor.
