SIS-Specific Recommendations

1. Administrative users should obtain a UVa Identity token
   1. UVa Identity Tokens should be requested by an LSP or desktop support person. Please be sure to select the "Student System—Standard and/or Student System ImageNow" option during the request process.
   2. Access to SIS via the UVa Identity Token will be granted as soon as a access is granted through ESHARP.
   
   
2. Managing popup blockers: SIS is a browser-based system. Your selection of Internet browser and popup blocker configurations can affect your ability to access system functionality. See recommendations on how to turn off or modify popup blockers.


3. All users should clear cache: Anytime there is maintenance to the system or if you get an error message, clear your Internet browser cache before requesting support. See instructions.
