Software for Online Courses
Some online courses require additional software that is not included with the textbook purchase. If you are taking one of these courses, please contact the instructor to determine what software you need for your computer. You are expected to have the software on or before the first day of class.
Some courses require software installations, which may be platform specific. This may not require a purchase, but will require a specific computer to access the software program. Please check with your instructor regarding software and hardware requirements.
When you receive the information from your instructor, please write it down and take it with you to the bookstore so that you will be given the correct software. It is your responsibility as a student to make sure you have the right software! Once you open the software, you cannot return it!
