When I access Coursera content from my Blackboard course, I am stuck on a message “SSO Request is being processed.”

1. If you are stuck on a message that says “SSO Request is being processed”, then you just need to change some settings in your Google Chrome Browser

2. In the top right corner of your Google Chrome Browser, select the 3 vertical dots to find Settings.

3. Once you’re in Settings, select the Privacy and Security tab

4. Make sure you select Allow third-party cookies

5. Go back to the Privacy and Security tab. Scroll down to find and select Site settings

6. Once you’re in Site settings, scroll down to find and select Pop-ups and redirects

7. Make sure you select Sites can send pop-ups and use redirects

8. Refresh your Blackboard course, and you should no longer receive the “SSO request is being processed” message.
