Silverlight Requirements

​Microsoft Silverlight is a browser based plug-in powered by the .NET framework. It is the basic foundation that the Course Search/Registration System is built on—without Silverlight this system cannot be used.  The Silverlight plug-in is what enables the Course Search/Registration interface that you interact with to register/drop/withdraw from courses. Silverlight works similar to the way other media rich browser plug-ins work. Just as you would need an Adobe Flash plug-in to display Adobe Flash web content, you need Silverlight in order to run Silverlight enabled content.

Compatibility

You will need a compatible operating system and web browser in order to utilize Silverlight.  All modern Windows Operating systems from Windows XP SP3 to the latest Windows 8.1 support Silverlight, with the exception of Windows RT.  See the full list

If you have a Mac, you will want to make sure it is Intel based and has OS 10.5.7 Leopard or newer. If your Mac is 2006 or newer, you should be compatible.

Next, verify you have a compatible browser installed. Compare your browser version to the ones listed below.
