WebCT Browser Checklist

The NPPS online course in which you enrolled is delivered through a program called WebCT. Before you begin the course, it is important that you check to be sure your web browser is properly configured to work with WebCT.

The first time you log in, WebCT's browser checklist (see image below) should automatically run a check for compatibility. If it does not, look for the link that says "Check Browser" in the top right corner of the web page. It is our goal to ensure that your list will come up with all green checkmarks as shown below.

If your browser does not pass the test in any of the items in the checklist, that item will display with a red X instead of a green checkmark. If any item in the list displays a red X, a link will be provided for instructions on the correct configuration.

Please take a few minutes to complete the steps in this list prior to beginning the course.While it may seem overwhelming at first, please keep in mind that once done you'll be set for this and future courses offered by NPPS.

Supported Browsers

WebCT has been tested on a number of browsers for compatibility (various versions on both Windows and Macintosh). You will need to know the version of WebCT that your using.
