- Restart your computer.
- Check your Internet access.
- Use a different computer.
- Access the Internet somewhere else.
- Download and setup the VPN Client for Illinois - especially important if you not on campus.
- Create an Illinois Box account - you shouldn't need to do this for GS, but it's an important free tool you have access to as a student.
- You will make extensive use of PDF files in GS 101 and need to have an updated version of Acrobat Reader on your computer.
- Adobe Creative Cloud is available this year for free to students. This is another way to access Acrobat Reader as well as the entire Adobe Creative Cloud Suite of software.
- Contact the Illinois Helpdesk for technology support. Your GS 101 instructors can answer questions about GS 101, but are not specialized in technology support.
