NJCU Enhances Browser Security Requirements

In an ongoing effort to secure information and protect the confidentiality of University data, the Department of Information Technology has implemented browser security enhancements in accordance with best practices established by various information security standards.

These enhancements include:

• Transport Layer Security (TLS) Version 1.0
• Extended Validation (EV) certificates

Beginning May 5, 2010, if your browser does not meet these security requirements, you will be unable to use the GothicNet Portal.

As a result, depending on your current browser settings, you may encounter an error when attempting to access the Gothicnet Portal (https://gothicnet.njcu.edu).

Specifically, you may encounter one of the following errors:

Please ensure that your browser is configured properly to support the security requirements.

• Verify your Browser's Encryption Settings
• Check GothicNet's Browser Requirements and upgrade your browser if necessary
