    • We also recommend closing your web browser and re-opening after you've
      cleaned the cache and cookies.

    • You can also force a page to load by doing a page refresh.

    • If you are running a firewall program, we recommend that you temporarily
      disable it by turning it completely off.  To verify that the firewall
      software is completely turned-off, right click on your task bar, open up the
      task manager, select the "Applications" tab" to be sure the program is not still running.. Close down your web browser, then reopen, revisit the
      enrollment application, in most cases, this will resolve the problem for a
      broken form.
