LockDown Browser - Missouri Baptist University

LockDown Browser

The version of LockDown Browser provided by each institution is different and unique to each institution. If you have previously used LockDown Browser at another college or university, that version will not work with Canvas at MBU. You will need to do one of two things:

  • Uninstall the LockDown Browser version from the other college or university, and then install the LockDown Browser version for Canvas at MBU.
  • If you still need the LockDown Browser version from the other college or university, you can install the LockDown Browser version for Canvas at MBU to work side-by-side with the one you already have.

Uninstall LockDown Browser from Another Institution

If you do not need the LockDown Browser from another institution, the first step would be to uninstall it from your program settings on your PC or Mac. After you have uninstalled LockDown Browser, use the link below to install LockDown Browser for MBU. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation process.
