Respondus Lockdown Browser Upaep -

The operational philosophy of Respondus is one of "lockdown"—a term that carries distinct carceral connotations. When a UPAEP student launches the browser, their personal computer ceases to be a multifunctional device and becomes a single-purpose terminal. The software commandeers the operating system, often requiring the termination of background processes like Discord, Spotify, or screen capture tools.
