Need Tech Support?

Most of the issues with your online component can be fixed on your own. Here are some tips BEFORE you contact the tech support:

  1. START “FRESH”.

Clean the browser's history/cache/cookies, etc. and "restart" BEFORE login in to any website: online component, Canvas, and or CLC's website. Consider restarting your computer or the device to avoid any issues. Yes, restart a Mac computer, too!

2.  “MIND YOUR MIND”

Saving passwords online may not be a good idea. Especially, if you  need to do an online test on a public computer. (Typing a password will help your brain active and ready!)

3. CLOSE AND RESTART.

Delete ALL history/cache/cookies, etc. BEFORE closing the browser(s), when you are done (and whenever possible). Close all the programs and -especially- turn off the computer if you are done working for the day.
