Ebear
has become an intricate part of a Barnard student's life.
We use it to register and file for classes, check our schedules,
and access the daily happenings on campus. It's a system
that we've come to rely upon and it is frustrating when
attempting to sign on generates the message "You are not
a current user of Barnard College." If you find yourself
in this situation, fear not, there are a few easy and quick
solutions.
As a temporary solution, try a different browser or a different
computer. If you’ve been using Internet Explorer, try
Netscape, and vice versa.
A common reason you could be denied access to Ebear may be due
to your Internet Options. If your privacy is set high and you
are blocking any kind of internet cookies on your computer,
you will not be able to access Ebear. What you need to do is
open Internet Explorer, go under Tools, and click Internet Options.
Under Internet Options go to the Privacy tab; you can then set
the bar to what level of blockage you want. To be able to access
Ebear, a medium level is recommended. If this does not work,
also check your settings for internet cookies in Zone Alarm,
Spybot, and Ad-Aware, to ensure they are not set too high. You
can do this by clicking on the program and changing the settings
in the programs’ menu options.
In addition, pop-up blockers and plug-in search bars, such as
those made by Google and Yahoo, can also prevent Ebear from
letting you log on. Try disabling those. Each search bar is
slightly different, but most have a ‘disable’ feature.
If you can’t find one, you can always remove the search
bar by going to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
If these solutions do not work, feel free to contact Academic
Technologies (ext. 4-7172) and someone at the Help Desk or an
RCA will come to your aid.
