SAFARI ACCESS PROBLEMS: If you are using the Safari web browser and cannot login, logout, or access coursepages, please try the following instructions:

1. Open your Safari browser, and then select "Preferences" from the "Safari" menu.
2. In the "Preferences" window click the "Security" icon and then the "Show Cookies" button.
3. Click the "Remove All" button and then click "Done".
4. Close the "Preferences" window and then quit Safari.
5. Restart Safari and try to recreate the problem by logging in or going to a coursepage.

Do not give the course password to anyone not currently enrolled in the class. The following excerpts are from the University Computer Use Policy:
"Do not access or intercept files or data of others without permission. Do not use the password of others or access files under false identity... Systems managers or other individuals within an academic or administrative unit may be empowered to suspend some or all privileges associated with computer use in cases of misuse or threat to the integrity of all or part of the University's information management resources."
