Technology Requirements

Students will be required to bring their personal laptop to campus for all exams. Laptops should be fully charged as there is no guarantee an outlet will be available during class or exams for charging. Failure to bring a working laptop will result in the student being unable to test at the scheduled time. Appropriate rescheduling deductions will apply. *See Exam Rescheduling

Computer Specifications

An optimal computer for all course work and exams is either a Windows PC or Apple Mac laptop. The device should have a minimum of:

Core i3 processor or Ryzen 3
8GB of memory
hard disk or SSD of 500GB capacity or greater
Windows PCs: Windows 10

Windows 10/11 "S mode" is not a compatible operating system

Apple: Mac OS 11 or higher.
iPadOS 12.0 or higher

WiFi Capability

Internal webcam and microphone or external USB connected webcam with audio capability
Students must use Chrome to access Canvas.

Other browsers such as Internet Explorer, Edge, Safari and Firefox can be problematic and prohibit students from submitting assignments on time. Students should never use their phone for activities in Canvas and assignment submissions.
Other recommendations:

Chromebooks are suitable for use as long as the above requirements for processor and memory are met, though internal storage is typically limited.
Cloud file storage such as Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive or something similar is encouraged to help secure student’s work in the event of computer issues.
