Sometimes, when you have issues while logged in to Campus Connection, clearing your browser’s cache files (cookies, history, temporary internet files, etc.) will correct the problem. Many times, the North Dakota University System (NDUS) Help Desk will recommend this step first before troubleshooting the problem further. Please follow these steps for clearing your browser’s cache:

Note: These instructions are for the Internet Explorer browser. The included screen shots were taken using Internet Explorer 10. While the visual look may be different in Internet Explorer 11, the same steps can be used to clear the browser’s cache.

STEP 1:

• Open the Internet Explorer browser.
• Locate Tools in either the main menu (top of screen) or the command toolbar (at right).
• Select Internet Options from the drop-down menu.

 Sample view of browser window highlighting location of Tools menu item.

STEP 2:

• In the Internet Options window, under the General tab, locate the Browsing History section and click Delete.
• You also have the option to check the Delete browsing history on exit checkbox, which deletes selected files (see Step 3) every time Internet Explorer is closed.

Sample view of Internet Options window with browsing history delete options highlighted.

STEP 3:

• In the Delete Browsing History window, do the following:
  
  • Uncheck: Preserve Favorites website data
  • Check: Temporary Internet Files and website files
  • Check: Cookies and website data
  • Check: History
  • Check: Downloaded History
  • Check: Form Data (optional)
  • Check: Passwords (optional)
  • Check: ActiveX Filtering and Tracking Protection Data (optional)
• Click Delete when finished selecting checkboxes.
• A pop-up window will appear temporarily showing the progress of the delete process.

Even though the last three checkboxes are optional, it is recommended that you include these in the cache-clearing process to make sure that all files associated with Campus Connection are cleared from your browser.

STEP 4:

• Close all Internet Explorer browser windows.
• Relaunch Internet Explorer to begin using the refreshed cache settings.

A preferred name is the name you’d like to be called, especially if this name is different than your legal name. For example, this could be a nickname or a chosen name that best matches your gender self-identity. DSU students, faculty, and staff can set a preferred first name

Preferred names appear in many of DSU’s electronic systems including:
- Email display name
- Blackboard
- Class Roster/Grade Roster
- Advisement Report

You can update your gender, pronouns, and sexual orientation information in Campus Connection. These are opt-in options and are not required by DSU.

Gender identity is not shared with class instructors or other campus partners, including health services. Authorized campus employees with access to your bio-demographic information will also not have access to view your gender identity.

When you confirmed your enrollment to the campus, some of your personal information, like your name, ID number and demographic information, was made available to campus employees who work with you, including staff, faculty, and some student employees. If you decide to share your personal pronouns, your pronouns will be included along with other information provided to campus employees. Examples of where your personal pronouns will be available include the class roster provided to instructors and staff including your photo and the student record in campus systems that advisors and other student services staff use to work with you.

Sexual orientation is not shared with class instructors or other campus partners, including health services. Authorized campus employees with access to your bio-demographic information will also not have access to your sexual orientation.
