Browser Test

Overview

To take advantage of many on line resources available at Grinnell College your web browser will need to be properly configured.  You will need a Java-capable Web browser. Our courses are best viewed using a Microsoft® Internet Explorer browser, version 6.0 or higher or FireFox (courses cannot be accessed using Web TV).

America Online (AOL), Prodigy, and CompuServe subscribers may still need to use Internet Explorer or Firefox for full functionality.
