The Details
Computer, browser & Internet connection are requirements for course registration. While many operating systems and browsers may work for course registration, having a computer with a current version of macOS or Windows and a popular web browser that is updated is strongly recommended. A fast, reliable Internet connection is preferred if available. On campus, the MiddleburyCollege Wi-Fi network is the fast, reliable, and readily accessible option that is fully supported by ITS. Please see our Wi-Fi documentation or reach out to the Helpdesk if you need assistance connecting prior to registration day.
Please follow guidance from the Registrar for course registration preparation.
Reboot your computer:
Although this is not required, periodic computer reboots are recommended to keep things running smoothly.
Clear web browser cache & cookies:
Incomplete logout or an unattended timeout from a previous session may result in the sign-in error screens shown below. Clearing the cache and cookies from your web browser BEFORE registration can prevent unnecessary delays in getting signed in. We recommend that you clear cache/cookies in advance and/or if you encounter the sign-in errors below (rather than the normal Middlebury single sign-on).
