If you repeatedly end up back at the login screen when trying to log onto Canvas or other applications like student or web-based email, SIS or Student, Navigate, you are not alone.   MCC is still experiencing Cache and Cookies problems.

To fix the error, please clear your cache and cookies for all time and you should be able to log back in. 

Not sure how to clear your cache & cookies?  Here are some helpful tips:

• For most browsers running on a Microsoft OS computer, simultaneously pressing <CTRL> <SHIFT> <DELETE> will open the Clear Browsing Data dialogue box.    On Macs, simultaneously pressing <CMD><SHIFT><DELETE> may produce the same results. 
• Or you can go to your browser’s Options or Settings menu and search for the Clear Browsing Data option usually found within the Privacy & Security section.
• Many browsers also have the option (via checkbox) to delete cookies and cache whenever the browser is closed and you might consider turning on that option.

Another helpful tip which many people now make use of is that most browsers also offer a private browsing mode and you can use that option; attempt to log in and see if that helps.   The Private or Incognito browsing mode option is in the Options/Settings menu; it may be entitled “New Private Window”, “New InPrivate Window” or “New Incognito Window”.  Check out this Computer World article - How to go incognito in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari for more information.

You can also try different internet browsers.  Firefox, Chrome, Edge & Safari are all great browsers to use.
