When you take an exam in Inspera, you will use a secure browser called Safe Exam Browser (SEB). This locks down your computer so that you can only access the resources your teacher has permitted as aids during the exam.

When you arrive at the examination room, you will need to enter a password to start the secure browser. The password will be displayed in the examination room. When the exam is about to begin, the invigilators will give you a separate code to access the exam itself.
