You must use the following link to install the JSCC version of LockDown Browser.

Download Lockdown Browser

This is the only version of LockDown Browser compatible with JSCC Blackboard.

  • You will need to open/run Respondus LockDown Browser before taking the Test. You will need to log in again using Jeff State user name and password,

  • The Windows and Mac versions of LockDown Browser have a “Help Center” button located on the toolbar. Use the “System & Network Check” to troubleshoot issues. If an exam requires you to use a webcam, also run the “Webcam Check” from this area.

You may be trying to log on to Bb Courses before and/or after Term Date.
Check Calendar.

You may no longer be an active student.

Courses that were previously accessible in Blackboard:

1.  Dropped For Non-Payment.

You can check your account in OneACCS Online Services to check your registration status.

You must contact a Cashier’s office, call (205) 856-7779 or email [email protected] before you can be added back to your course.

Making a payment online without contacting the Cashier’s office will not get you put back into your courses.

Once you have been added back to a course, it will take up to an hour before the course will appear in Blackboard.

         2.  Dropped for not completing the participation requirement due by the Instructor.

Did you receive an email telling you which class you have been dropped? If yes, then follow the link in the email and follow the steps for reverification.

Once you have submitted the reverification information from step one, your instructor will also receive an email with a similar link that lets them verify your enrollment in the class.

Once your instructor verifies you, you will receive a second email that you have been reverified by the Instructor.

Once this is done, the information is sent to the Business Office for you to be reinstated in the class upon tuition payment.

If you have questions or want to check in on the status of your reverification and/or funding call 205-856-8507 or 205-856-7779.
