  • What type of computer does a student need to have?

    • Most courses will require a student to have access to the College’s learning management system, Moodle. While you can access Moodle on a mobile device, some activities and some publisher content may not work well on a mobile device. Students should have access to a computer or laptop running a supported Microsoft Windows operating system (Windows 10 or 11). See software requirements below for more information.

  • What type of software does a student need?

    • The software needed is specific to the program in which students are enrolled. Some may require specific software that only runs on a Windows computer or laptop.  At a minimum, a computer or laptop with a supported Windows operating system is recommended. Students may download Microsoft Office (opens in a new window) and log in with their Stormtrac account > select Install Apps and follow the instructions.
