Configuring your web browser to allow pop-up windows

Most web browsers include a feature to block pop-up windows. While this may eliminate unwanted or bothersome pop-up windows, this feature impedes the functioning of myAcademic.Center platform.
Our platform requires pop-ups to be allowed for myAcademic.Center.

Firefox browser

  1. Open Firefox browser, and click the 3 horizontal bars menu button on the browser menu bar and select Preferences. In some versions it is called Options.
  2. Click the Privacy & Security link on left panel.
  3. Under the Permissions section, click on Exceptions, that opens a dialog box with a list of sites that you want to allow to display pop-ups.
  4. In the Address of website field, type myacademic.center, and press Allow button.
  5. Then press Save Changes button.

Safari browser

  1. Type https://www.myacademic.center in a new browser tab, and press enter.
  2. Then from the Safari menu, choose Preferences... and click the Websites tab.
  3. Choose Pop-up Windows from last side panel.
  4. The right side window shows all the current tabs in the browser, on the row that has myacademic.center, press the button on the right side and select Allow.
  5. Exit the Preferences window.

Edge (Windows 10 only) browser

Microsoft Edge for Windows 10 has no per-website control over blocking pop-up windows. Pop-ups are either blocked, or they are not. To allow pop-ups:

  1. Right-click on the Windows icon (lower-left corner of the screen), then click on Settings.
  2. Type "pop" or "block" into the search box on the window that comes up, and select "Block or allow pop-ups" from the suggested entries.
  3. Internet Properties window comes up, with the Privacy tab selected. Make sure the "Turn on Pop-Up Blocker" checkbox is checked, then click on the Settings button.
  4. Pop-Up Blocker Settings window comes up. Add my academic.center in the "Address of website to allow" box and click on the Add button.
  5. Click on Close to apply the changes and close the window.
  6. Click on OK in the Internet Properties window to apply the changes and close the window.

Note 1: Browsers like Safari and Edge allow or disallow pop-ups globally for all websites.
If you are concerned about allowing pop-ups globally for all websites that you browse, consider using another web browser that allows website exceptions such as Chrome or Firefox or Internet explorer.
