WebNow, also known as Perceptive Content, will not work with some newer operating system versions and with certain browsers. WebNow is the university’s document imaging system, which can be used to upload and store documents as electronic files in a secure online environment.
These system limitations will be eliminated after the system is upgraded this summer. More information about the upgrade will be available in the coming months.
Until the upgrade is complete this summer, please confirm compatibility before updating your computer’s operating system or browser if you need to use the document imaging system.
