Course Spins After Launching:
Some users are experiencing “spinning” issues when they use Firefox. Try updating your browser, or logging in using Safari, Chrome, or Edge instead – usually that will solve the spinning issue. Open this Software and Hardware Requirements for SEMA4 and Self Service (mn.gov) link for more details about browsers and operating systems.
Screen says Not Attempted or Locks Up after launching:
If the user launches the course but the screen “locks up” or says “not attempted” – that is a pop-up blocker. Pop-ups will need to be enabled for this site. After launching a module, watch for pop-up blocker messages in your browser window. It is okay to allow all pop-ups from this site. Contact your campus IT Helpdesk for desktop support.
