Canvas Browser Requirements

Body

The recommended Internet browsers for doing course work in Canvas are Google Chrome and Firefox. It is a good idea to have both available as a backup. To install the browsers, follow the links:

 Chrome [https://www.google.com/chrome/]
 Firefox [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
 

Edge and Safari are supported, but are less reliable. Regardless of browser, it is important to keep browsers updated. The following Canvas support article will provide more information.
