    This comment is regarding logging in from home. After I log in, a window opens that sindicates a problem…. I should enable JAVA and allow cookies. I am using Firefox Browser. I checked my settings and this is all OK. I can access the portal by hitting continue , but this is annoying and makes me wonder if there is a problem with full functioning.
    Any feedback on this?

      Sue, the only part of the portal that should involve JAVA in any way is Internet Naitive Banner, which may not work from home due to firewall settings here on campus. If you’re seeing such an error when simply logging in to the portal then I’ll need to see a screen shot or otherwise get the exact text of the error to troubleshoot further. I use Firefox on my Mac at home with no problems, but settings can vary widely. Email me with more info on the error and I’ll see what I can do.
