CCC recognizes the importance of technology as a means of increasing both student engagement and access to instructional resources and as a way of allowing both students and faculty to leverage the efficiencies afforded by online tools and automated processes. CCC makes the following resources available to students:
Both tutoring and advising services are available for all City Colleges of Chicago students. You can make an appointment with either a tutor or advisor through Navigate. Walk-in hours are also available.
Visit Tutoring Services for information on tutoring locations, times, subject areas and tutor availability.
Students should see their advisors at least once per semester, and anytime they have a question or concern about their academic progress or future plans.
Navigate will provide a personalized Care Team to each student made up of an advisor, faculty, and other specifically assigned staff from the Transfer Center Financial Aid Office, Career Services, and Student Activities – making it easier to know exactly where to go for help when needed.
Navigate replaces GradesFirst. It is a communication and retention tool which facilitates the identification of students who may be at-risk academically and the coordination of student services to assist these students.
Help guides can be found at www.ccc.edu/navigate.
If you have any questions about Navigate, please contact the implementation team at navigate@ccc.edu.

Respondus Lockdown Browser and Monitor are now available in all Brightspace courses as optional settings when creating online assessments.
Respondus is an assessment tool company specializing in online remote exam g security. Respondus Monitor is a ‘proctored remote exam’ whereas LockDown Browser locks the testing environment.
is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within Brightspace. When students use Respondus LockDown Browser (LDB) they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications. When an assessment is started, students are locked out of these functions until they submit their exam for grading. It is based on the same system components and settings that make up Internet Explorer (Windows) and Safari (Mac) browsers already installed on computers. Respondus LockDown Browser is both Windows and Macintosh compatible.
When enabled for a quiz, the student receives a prompt to download the Respondus LockDown Browser application and install it before they can access the quiz. When the student begins taking the quiz, the student is locked into the quiz until it is submitted for grading.
Respondus LockDown Browser prevents the student from:
builds upon the power of LockDown Browser, using a student’s webcam and industry-leading video analytics to detect & deter cheating during non-proctored exams. When this feature is enabled for a quiz, students are required to use a webcam and microphone with LockDown Browser. After the quiz is complete, an instructor can review details of the assessment, even the recorded videos. Requiring the use of Respondus Monitor is useful when giving remote exams without a live proctor.
Instructors can choose to use Respondus LockDown Browser with or without Respondus Monitor feature enabled when choosing their LDB testing settings in their Brightspace course.
When students access the quiz, they will be prompted to Launch Lockdown Browser. or Download the Lockdown Browser

This course requires the use of LockDown Browser (LDB) for online exams. Watch this short video to get a basic understanding of LockDown Browser and the webcam feature (which may be required for some exams). Students may contact Respondus LockDown Browser Support for technical assistance if needed and/or access this 1-page “Student Quick Start Guide”.

CCC 9 digit institutional Code: 482287393
*You may watch this video tutorial on “How do I install LockDown Browser” if needed.
2. To take an online test, start LockDown Browser software installed on your computer. Once the LDB browser has been started, you will be prompted to login to Brightspace through the LDB browser and navigate to your desired course and desired exam. (You won’t be able to access a LDB required exam with a standard web browser.) For additional details on using LockDown Browser, review this Student Quick Start Guide (PDF).
*Be sure you are not connected to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) as the LockDown Browser wiill NOT work through a VPN.
3. Finally, when taking an online exam, follow these guidelines:
Select a location where you won’t be interrupted
Before starting the test, know how much time is available for it and be sure that you’ve allotted sufficient time to complete it
Turn off all mobile devices, phones, etc. and don’t have them within reach
Clear your area of all external materials — books, papers, other computers, or other devices.
Remain at your desk or workstation for the duration of the test
LockDown Browser will prevent you from accessing other websites or applications.
Depending on the settings selected by your instructor, you may not be able to exit the test until all questions are completed and submitted.
Traditional timed, proctored exams are possible remotely using the tools available in Brightspace with Respondus LockDown Browser & Respondus Monitor. Before committing to remote proctored exams, below are some considerations:
However, proctored remote exams have several drawbacks:
For these reasons, during this time we recommend using alternatives to timed, proctored exams wherever possible. Large courses reliant on in-person exams should consider open-book exams or frequent low-stakes assessments as alternative assessment strategies that are relatively easy to grade.
