INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERInternet access is a requirement for taking Internet courses. If you do not currently have Internet access, please make arrangements with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Services vary among ISP's, so consider the cost, time you will spend online, accessibility, speed, ease of set up and components of the provider's basic service. Also, make sure that the provider includes SLIP or PPP services as part of their Internet package; this is required for full Internet access with graphics capabilities. You must also have an active e-mail account to take Internet courses. VIRUS PROTECTIONQuality virus protection software is required. This software is especially critical if you are accessing coursework from a computer on a network that is not protected by regularly updated virus-protection software. Virus protection software provides computer systems protection against potentially damaging computer viruses. New viruses appear on a frequent basis; keep your virus protection software current by installing upgrades as they become available. | |
