Learn how to allow pop-ups for NCU sites like Skyline, Canvas, and Self-Service, and how to use a private window to figure out why a site isn't working.
Allow pop-ups for a site
Quickest way: when your browser blocks a pop-up, look for a small blocked-pop-up icon at the right end of the address bar. Select it, choose Always allow, and reload the page.

Add the site you're having trouble with, like skyline.northcentral.edu or ncumn.instructure.com.
Test in a private window
A private window opens without your saved cookies and extensions. If a site works there but not in a regular window, clearing your cache usually fixes it.
