ISSUES WITH WINDOWS VISTA:
Nichols College Information Technology is currently testing the compatability of current Nichols software on a Windows Vista system. To this date, we are aware of two issues, which are directly related to the new security features of the Vista version of Internet Explorer 7:

Problem:

Nichols Email - you will not be able to compose any new emails or reply to any emails
WebAdvisor - you will not be able to access WebAdvisor
Resolution: Install a different browser, such as:

Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/)
Netscape (http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/)
IT will continue to research Windows Vista and will let you know of any other issues.

The College reserves the right to withdraw any course because of inadequate enrollment or staff availability, and to limit course enrollment size due to oversubscription. Any time the College exercises this right a student's schedule may be affected.
