Contact the CASA managers (either Minh Nguyen or Samantha Stark) and provide them with information about the test: instructor and course information, testing dates or range of dates, number of students information, other special instructions.
The CASA managers will indicate availability of its testing locations and will provide you with the IP address or IP addresses information to be used in Bb. If the center is not available during the requested dates, they will try to accommodate you on other available dates.
Once CASA confirms availability for the requested dates, instructors can set up a test in Blackboard that requires students to use LockDown Browser. Follow the steps below to make the Respondus LockDown Browser required for a test in Blackboard.

If students are taking a test in the CASA Testing Center:
- It is highly recommended that all students register with CASA and schedule for their test in their Courseware account as soon as the online scheduler is available. This will help them avoid the peak time and maximize their chance for getting a reservation.
- New students will need to register his/her Photo and FingerPrint prior to check-in the CASA Tutoring Center. This is a ONE TIME process at CASA Testing Center.
