In order to access your online course, you must have the appropriate system components. Use the minimum requirements column to determine if your computer will access online course materials. In addition to the items listed here, you will need access to the internet and email for your online courses.
Software
You will be more successful in your online course if you have Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Access. If you are using Microsoft Works or another word processing application, you will need to save your documents as an .RTF (rich text format) in order for your instructors to open and review your work. Contact the computer support help desk if you have questions.
