5. Degree Planner Troubleshooting

    • Google Chrome
    • Microsoft Edge - updated version
    • Mozilla Firefox
    • (Note: Internet Explorer and Apple's Safari are not recommended browsers.) 
  • Clear all cache and cookies. (See this tutorial: How to Clear Cache and Cookies)
  • Use an incognito page
  • Make sure that the computer is currently up to date
  • Remove/disable pop-up blockers
  • Use a laptop or desktop computer. (Tablets, iPads and cell phones often don't have the necessary plug-ins or system requirements to properly access Canvas courses)
  • Make sure that any internet filters you have on your browsers are turned off for Canvas so assignments can be downloaded
  • Restart the computer
  • Make sure that all websites and links that are being used are up to date
 
NOTE: If you are at the degree planning stage within the degree planner, please verify that you have already planned or tried to plan your degree.
