Note: Many schools and units have standardized on the use of specific applications and operating systems. Faculty and staff should speak to their local support provider to determine which products are supported locally before selecting or purchasing software.


Mozilla.org's Firefox is the University's supported and recommended web browser for Windows and Mac OS.

Important notes: A number of administrative systems, including BEN Financials and Penn Benefits Enrollment, require the use of Internet Explorer for supported access to their products. BEN Application users should refer to the BEN Desktop Standards Document for further information.
