Is your browser WebCT Compatible?
WebCT Campus Edition automatically checks whether your browser is validated for us 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. Check Browser also gives you access to WebCT Browser Tune-up page where there is up-to-date information about all classifications of browsers. 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.
