18. Current Operating System Support Please refer to the Supported Systems & Requirements page on the Technology Resources section of the FSA Portal for current support.

19. Secure Profile for Mac OS X/macOS: New this year, Mac users will download and install a Secure Profile before installing the Secure Browser. This will take care of many of the configuration steps that are required. The Secure Profile can be found on the Mac Secure Browser tab. There are a few remaining configurations that will need to be completed after the Secure Profile and Secure Browser are installed.

20. Chrome OS The FSA currently supports version 75. Version 76 was released on July 30 and is in beta testing at AIR. Throughout the school year, we intend to support the latest 3 versions of Chrome OS. As in the past, AIR will automatically support “point version updates” (e.g., when the OS updates from 75.02 to 75.03). These point releases are minor and occur often. However, it is good practice to upgrade your OS to the latest supported version prior to the testing window and then turn off “auto-update” until the testing window is over.
