Supported Browsers – GCU Technical Support

There are several internet browsers that meet GCU’s technical requirements. However, at times, one browser may give you difficulty loading or viewing content, so you may want to try a different one. You can use the chart below to find out which browsers will work on your computer and use the links to download a new one, if necessary.

NOTE If you download a new browser, you will need to switch your default browser. Please see How to Change Your Default Browser for assistance.
