Database Access Issues

  • Are you using your four-letter, three-number user name, e.g., JDOE123? Is CAPS lock off?
  • What kind of device are you using, e.g, phone, laptop, tablet?  Have you tried using a different device and if so, are you having the same problem? 
  • What browser are you using, e.g., Firefox, Chrome, IE?  Have you tried changing browsers?
  • Is it an issue with your pop up blocker? (This is controlled from ‘settings’ within your browser.) 
  • Did you try rebooting? 
  • Are you accessing from a bookmarked URL?  If so, try from regiscollege.edu. (Then click on Library from menu bar.)
