Hardware and Software Requirements:
Online and Hybrid/Blended courses will require the student have access to hardware and software outside of the classroom. The course description and syllabus must clearly list the hardware and software requirements for the course. In addition students must be provided with contact information for the institutions computer support center if they need technical assistance.
