UPDATE: "Trusted Sites" security settings in Internet Explorer 7 as well!

Possible Culprit: "Trusted Sites" security settings in Internet Explorer 6

  • Open Internet Explorer, then go to Tools, Internet Options. 
  • Find the Security Tab, then click on it.
  • Select "Trusted Sites" and click on the Sites button.
  • A new window will popup. Uncheck the "Require server verification (https:)" check box, then add at the top add, http://my.dominican.edu, click the add button and verify it adds to the list, then click OK.
  • Once this is done click OK again to the general option page, and close and re-open IE. 
  • Then navigate to http://my.dominican.edu and in the bottom right of the IE window you should see the 'Internet' sign change to 'Trusted Site'.  This indicates we've added it as a trusted side and your pc has lowered it's security settings.


Possible Culprit: McAfee Security Center

  • Open the McAfee Security Center. 
  • Click on the Privacy Service to open its menu.
  • Click on Configure Privacy Service Options.
  • Click on the Allow List tab and add duc.blackboard.com as an allowed list.
  • Click on Block Ads tab and be sure both boxes under this tab are NOT checked before clicking on "Apply" button. 
  • These boxes are:
  • Block Ads on this computer.
  • Block Pop Ups on this computer.
  • Close McAfee Service Center.
