Before you begin exploring your online courses, please make sure that your computer has the needed plug-ins and players to work with D2L.

We are strongly recommending all students and faculty download and use the free Firefox web browser.  There are problems with Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 - and it is not a supported web browser for D2L.

1. Run a Complete a System Check. This check makes sure that your computer and web browser are compatible with D2L.  If there is a problem, you will see instructions on how to make your computer or browser compatible.
