Follow the steps below.

Note that the site you want to clear might be different from what is shown (campus.owu.edu for OWU Self-Service.)

  1. Select Settings... in the Safari menu.

    (You may also use the Command+comma keyboard shortcut.)
  2. Go to the Privacy tab, along the top, and click the "Manage Website Data..." button.
  3. Type the top level domain of the site you're wanting to clear into the search box at top right. For Ohio Wesleyan, that's just "owu.edu".
  4. Click to select the site in the list, then click the Remove button, at the bottom.
  5. Click Done on the Manage Website Data window, then close the Settings window with the red button at top left.
  6. Before trying anything on that site again, click the "Reload this page" icon in the address bar.

This often clears up issues with websites.
