Google Chrome 11.x on Windows
Safari 5.x on Macintosh

These browsers were chosen because they are in use by the majority of the student population and they are available on the clusters. Other browsers and older versions have been used to access these systems, but we cannot guarantee that they will work properly. Supported browsers are used in the development and testing of SIS and OCS and therefore we can correct problems as they occur. Note: Although older browsers can be used to access SIS and OCS, they are no longer officially supported by the University.

If you encounter a problem accessing the Student Information Systems web site, please let us know. Be sure to include your Netid, the browser name and version, your platform (e.g. Windows XP) as well as the date and time of the problem and a brief description of the error.
