Internet Explorer Compatibility View

If you are having trouble viewing some sites using Internet Explorer 8 or 9 you may need to enable Compatibility View. Some users have reported issues viewing the student Email+ system and the student account pages when using Internet Explorer 9. If you are using this browser you will need to enable compatibility view when accessing these sites.

Enable Compatibility View for specific Web sites by using Internet Explorer

To enable Compatibility View for specific Web sites that are not displayed correctly or that are not working correctly, follow these steps:

1. Open the Web site that is not displayed correctly or that does not work correctly in Internet Explorer 8 or in Internet Explorer 9.

2. Click the Compatibility View button that is located directly to the right side of the address bar next to the Refresh button (looks like a torn piece of paper).

If this method worked, you may have to repeat this method for each Web site that experiences these problems. Internet Explorer will save this compatibility view setting.
