Authorization Errors & Technical Issues
If you are experiencing technical problems, or receive an authorization error, consider your browser first. Most of the problems people report are related to Internet browsers, not the AMS or D2L.
First, logout of your ABET account on your device(s) and close the browser window. When you log back in to your ABET account, reload the page. If this does not resolve your issue, please try the following troubleshooting options.

- Browser recommendations. We recommend using Chrome or Firefox. There are known issues with Safari. Additional information for supported browsers are detailed here: Browser support (brightspace.com)
- Switch to a different browser. Regardless of the browser you use, the best first step is trying a different browser.
- New Incognito Window. Open a new incognito window because that avoids the cache. If this works, it means the cache needs to be cleared.
- Clear your cache. Browser specific steps are detailed here: https://refreshyourcache.com/en/home/
