WGU Student Portal Not Working | The “Blank Page” or Loading Loop Fix

WGU students are reporting intermittent “blank page” errors or login loops on WGU Student Portal this week. If you cannot get in, it is likely a browser caching conflict rather than a total system outage.

Here is how to fix the most common current issues:


1. The “Blank Page” or Loading Loop Fix

If you log in and see a blank white screen or the WGU logo spinning forever:

  • Clear Cache & Cookies (Critical): WGU updates its portal frequently, and old “cookies” often crash the login process.

    • Chrome: Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete > Select “Cached images and files” and “Cookies” > Clear data.

  • Use Incognito Mode: Try opening a “Private” or “Incognito” window (Ctrl + Shift + N). If it works here, your main browser extensions are blocking the portal.

  • Try a Different Browser: If you are using Safari or Edge, switch to Google Chrome or Firefox. The portal is optimized for Chrome.


2. “Error Getting Your Information”

If you see a red banner saying “There was an error getting your information”:

  • This usually means a specific widget (like your Degree Plan or Financial Aid tab) is down, but the rest of the portal works.

  • Workaround: Use direct links to bypass the dashboard.

    • Email: https://mail.google.com/a/wgu.edu (Access your student email directly via Gmail).

3. Mobile App Alternative

If the desktop site is failing, open the WGU Mobile App on your phone.

  • The app uses a different login gateway. Users often report the app works perfectly even when the website is throwing 500/502 errors.


4. Still Locked Out?

If none of the above works, your account specifically might need a reset.

  • WGU IT Service Desk:

    • Phone: (877) 435-7948

    • Hours: Mon–Fri 6am–10pm MT / Sat–Sun 10am–7pm MT.

    • Note: There is often a wait time during the last week of the month (End of Term rush).
