Please take the time to review the following Navigation Tips. This information will simplify using Safari as well as save you time.
- Access Safari via the Wildcat Connection. To access Safari, go to the CWU Homepage at www.cwu.edu/ and logon via the Wildcat Connection (portal), then select the Safari hyperlink. The Safari URL (Web address) is not available off-campus directly over the Web, only via Wildcat Connection
- Avoid Using the 'Back' Button. For user security, information is not retained when navigating between/among pages using the 'Back' button. Instead, use the Navigation Path and/or hyperlinks found on each page.
- Be Patient. There may be occasional processing delays. Do not select (click on) other links while waiting for Processing to finish, as this may lock up your Safari session, with possible loss of information entered to that point.
- Avoid Double-Clicking Links. This has the effect of making two, separate requests for the same information, slowing access.
- Check Your Computer's Date/Time/Time Zone/Daylight Savings Check Box Your computer's time and time zone must be set as if you are in the state of Washington (Time zone is Pacific Time). The Daylight Savings Checkbox must be checked. If your settings are not reflective of the above information, you will likely receive the error message "Your PeopleSoft Connection has expired" within 30 seconds of attempting to log in.
- Using Multiple Windows. On many pages, a New Window hyperlink is displayed in the upper right-hand corner. Clicking this link opens a second Navigation Path. For example, you can open the Class Schedule in one window, while Enrolling for Classes in another.
- Home Clicking on the Home link in the Navigation path will take you back to your Safari homepage.
- Always 'Sign Out.' When you are done with your Safari session, select the 'Sign Out' link in the upper right-hand portion of the page. This will log you out of Safari (the PeopleSoft sign-in page will appear, showing you are logged out). You will then need to close the PeopleSoft page and 'Logout' (upper right-hand corner) of Wildcat Connection so that your Safari session cannot be used by anyone else. Finally, exit your Web Browser.
- Review the Important Information Click here for information about Session Expiration and Timeout, Browsers, Cookies and Scheduled Availability.
