There may be several contributing factors causing this problem. If you are trying to access your courses during peek times on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month, we are most likely performing system maintenance, and depending on how many students are already online, you may see a decrease in page load times. We suggest taking a shrt break during these times. Please note: Average page load time should be between 3 and 6 seconds. (Typical speed to load most websites).

Another factor is Spyware. Spyware will greatly degrade your browser's performance since these malicious applications rob your system of bandwidth. If Spyware is present on any system, in a networked environment, it can affect the performance of all systems if they are using the same gateway to access the internet. We suggest downloading and running an anti-Spyware program such as Microsoft's Defender. you can download a free copy at: Microsoft.com. One sure sign of system infection is progressive degradation of performance.

Yet another factor could be the type of internet connection you have. Typically, if you are using anything other than a T1 or T3 line, other individuals using the same provider may be hindering your internet access speeds. For example, if you are using cable internet, you share your internet bandwidth with everyone in your neighborhood or whoever is also on that line. Therefore, if your neighbor is downloading a movie or large file, it can hamper your performance. This is most evident in a work environment where everyone in the office is accessing their cable internet through a local hub.

Lastly, web performance can greatly depend on your computer's hardware and software configurations. If you are loading numerous background applications at startup, of if you have a slower processor installed, you may see system wide slowdown, especially if you are multi-tasking. See the "Help" page for other technical issues. You may also reach your Instructor or Technical Support directly from your courses.

After you have opened a specific course a System Menu can be found across the top of the navigation Panel.  Click on student Information. From the drop down menu select the course you are timing.  Timing for that course will be displayed and information on all your courses, including start and completion dates for any registered courses can be accessed from this menu.
