Tune-Up your Browser

It is very important that you use a browser that is validated by WebCT and configured to work with WebCT. Follow the http://www.webct.com/tuneup link to

  • confirm that your browser is validated (URI currently uses WebCT Campus Edition 4.1)
  • set up your browser to enable java, javascript and cookies
  • set up your browser to disable any pop-up blocker*

It is also very important that your computer is free of virus, adware and spyware. Check the URI virus web site to use the anti-virus program licensed by URI.

Tip - Various versions of Internet Explorer, Netscape, AOL and Mozilla work with WebCT. If you encounter problem with one browser and you don't have time to fix the problem, just switch to another browser. Most of the time, the other browser will work.
