Tips for eCourse Completion

Make sure you are using a supported web browser and operating system.
Either disable pop-up blockers or create an exception so that the browser will allow pop-ups from https://uc.sumtotal.host.
Do not leave eCourses paused for extended periods of time. If you need to step away, exit the course until you can return. Leaving a course paused for too long may prevent it from reporting progress back to the system server. Any disruption in internet connectivity while attempting a course can prevent progress from being recorded.
Exit a course using the Exit link from the course menu when available. If needed, wait for the course to indicate it is okay to close the browser window before doing so. Closing a course window too soon may prevent it from reporting progress back to the system server.
Save a screenshot of your quiz results and/or completion confirmation screen.
Enable & Clear Cookies: You can view this setting in the browser’s security dialog box. Clearing the browser's cookies can often resolve unexpected performance issues. Note, some privacy add-ons block cookies. If you have installed any add-ons, plug-ins, or toolbars in your browser, especially those designed to protect privacy by blocking cookies, these may interfere with the system's ability to record your progress and/or eCourse functionality. You may want to disable them while attempting to complete online courses or use a browser without such.
