Minimum Requirements

An Internet connection is necessary to participate in discussions and assignments, access readings, transfer course work, and receive feedback from your instructional associate and/or professor. For web-based courses, students should have a basic working knowledge of computers and Internet use as well as access to a computer with an Internet connection, preferably broadband (DSL, cable, satellite).

At a minimum, you must have Microsoft Office or Apache OpenOffice (free). Microsoft Office is the standard office productivity software utilized by faculty, students, and staff. Microsoft Word is the standard word processing software, Microsoft Excel is the standard spreadsheet software, and Microsoft PowerPoint is the standard presentation software. Apache OpenOffice will open MS Office-created files and can save documents and spreadsheets in MS Office formats.  Please note:  If you choose to use OpenOffice, you will need to save in a native Microsoft format (ex: .docx, .xlsx, etc).

In addition to the skills requirements

It is strongly suggested to purchase a 8GB flash Drive to save your course work on. This will help you to keep your latest files with you at all times and will also ensure file folder integrity for your web site..
