Our 2024-2025 application portal requires that cookies be enabled. If, after entering the access code and hitting enter, the page simply re-displays the same page, disabled cookies may be the cause. Re-enabling them will quite likely correct the problem.
In our testing of this application process we have found an intermittent bug when using a browser other than Google’s Chrome browser.
What can happen is, if you are using a browser such as Firefox, Safari, or Opera, when you enter the Access Code and hit ‘OK’, the screen won’t appear to change.
