Submitting a quiz

If you cannot submit your quiz, you may need to clear your browser cache and cookies, try a different browser, or download the Respondus Lockdown Browser.

Note: If the quiz you are accessing displays differently, your instructor may be using New Quizzes.

Clear Cache and Cookies

Begin by clearing your browser's cache and cookies. Follow the steps below depending on which operating system you use.

Use Incognito/Private Browser

If clearing your cache and cookies doesn't resolve the problem, something in your browser may be blocking your access to submit your quiz. To verify this, try using Chrome’s incognito or Firefox Private mode.

Try New Browser

If you cannot submit your quiz using an incognito or private browser, try using a different browser. Canvas generally recommends using Chrome or Firefox.
