Operating Systems
Windows 2000 and up or MacOS X 10.2 and up are strongly recommended. Older operating systems (Windows 98SE/ME, MacOS 8/9) or alternative platforms (Linux) are all compatible but may not have full functionality. My.UNL is not currently compatible with handheld devices or web-enabled phones.
Web Browsers
Javascript and cookies must be enabled. Some content or features may require additional software. Pop-up blockers should be disabled for My.UNL. The browsers below are officially supported.
. Internet Explorer: 5.5 or higher (Windows) or version 5.2 (OS X)
. Netscape: Version 7.1 or higher
. Safari
. Firefox 1.0
Older versions of the above or alternative browsers (such as Mozilla and Opera) may be compatible, but some features might not be available. To download the latest browsers, click the "help" button in My.UNL and access the downloads area.
Can I use AOL with My.UNL (Blackboard)?
While you can use AOL as your service provider, you cannot use the AOL Web browser to access My.UNL (Blackboard). If you try to use the AOL browswer, you will find that it will automatically log you out every few minutes and you will experience problems with some of Blackboard's services including assessments (tests and quizes).
Therefore, if you are an AOL user, once you've connected to the Internet, use a different Web browswer to access the Internet. We recommend a newer version of Internet Explorer or Netscape. Other browsers such as Firefox also work very well.
To download a newer browser, click on the "help" button in My.Unl and go to the downloads area.
