Overview

---

In order to launch online courses within the UC Learning Center, pop-up blockers must be turned off. This guide will walk you through disabling pop-up blockers in four supported browsers. 
 

Critical Concepts

---

• In order to disable pop-up blockers you may need to know which version of your preferred web browser is currently running on your computer.
• This guide only includes browsers that currently support the UC Learning Center. We recommend that you update to the latest version of your preferred browser for best results.
