Browser Checker  | Top

Note: Depending on administrator settings, this feature may not be available.

WebCT Campus Edition automatically checks whether your browser is validated for use with WebCT in the login screen, in myWebCT, and in course homepages. However, you may also want to check if your browser is non-validated using Check Browser.

A validated browser is one that is compatible with WebCT. A non-validated browser is one that is not fully tested or has known minor issues with WebCT. An unsupported browser is one that is incompatible with WebCT.

Note: WebCT CE does not check the compatibility of service packs and software updates. Check WebCT's Browser Tune-up for the most up-to-date information.

To check your browser:

From the Menu Bar, click Check Browser. A message appears indicating if the browser you are using is validated, non-validated, or unsupported. If you want more information about supported browsers, click the link to WebCT's Browser Tune-up page.

Note: Only students can request Temporary Access.

Temporary Access allows you to access a course for a period of 15 days without an Access Code. If any of the following situations applies, you can request Temporary Access to an e-Pack course:

  • you are waiting for the course's Access Codes to arrive at your campus bookstore
  • you are having trouble entering your Access Code and need technical assistance

After the Temporary Access period expires, you cannot access the course without a valid Access Code. Therefore, we recommend that you take the necessary steps to obtain and successfully enter an Access Code as soon as possible.

Note: You can request Temporary Access only once per course.
