- How to Clear My Cookies and Add Pop-up blockers
When visiting familiar web pages, browsers try to do their part to speed up the loading process. The first time you visit a site, the browser will save pieces of the site, because the browser can display the files stored in its cache much faster than it can pull fresh files from a server.
Why is this a problem?
You may notice that you are unable to log into a page that you frequently access. Maybe things aren’t displaying quite right. If this is the case, try to clear your cache and cookies first.
- Canvas App Info
When TC students were asked what advice they had for incoming students they said: Download the Canvas app from your phone’s app store.
This app will:
- View grades and course content
- Keep track of course work with to-do lists and calendar
- Send and receive messages
- Watch videos
- Receive push notifications for new grades and course updates and much more!
Even if you just use the app for its assignment reminders, you will do a little better than you would have without it.
Please do not use the app for:
- Submitting an Assignment
- Posting to a Discussion
- Taking a Quiz
