If you have questions or problems using the Respondus software, you should
first consult the online help or Respondus User Guide. If you are still
unable to resolve your problem, direct your questions to the following
person(s) here at Oregon State University:

Blackboard Support, support@my.oregonstate.edu

Our license with Respondus, Inc. does NOT permit instructors to obtain
support directly from Respondus, Inc. If our staff is unable to solve a
particular question or problem, we will contact Respondus, Inc. on your
behalf.

Our license DOES permit you to install a copy of the Respondus software on a
home computer. However, please note that you are not permitted to provide
the Respondus software or the password information to anyone who is not
affiliated with our institution. Such an action is a violation of our
licensing agreement with Respondus and is also illegal.

We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity and that you find the
Respondus software useful.
