Computer Specifications Recommendations

The below serves as general computer recommendations for 石榴视频 students. Visit your academic program page for the specific computer requirements for your academic program.

All 石榴视频 courses use a Learning Management System (LMS) called Blackboard. Chromebooks, Chrome OS devices, iPads, and mobile devices (iOS, Android phones, tablets) do not allow students to satisfactorily access and complete course content.
 
石榴视频 has computer labs and computer lab hours.
 
石榴视频 provides Wi-Fi internet/wireless connectivity on campus for student technology. Wired internet is not available for personal devices. Personal routers and access points will not work on 石榴视频’s network.
 
Most students prefer a laptop computer, instead of a desktop computer; it can be taken wherever you go. For students using or purchasing their own technology (desktop or laptop), 石榴视频 recommends reviewing the recommended and minimum specifications. Keep in mind, technology changes are frequent.
 
Contact 石榴视频’s Teaching & Learning Center at bsc.tlc@bismarckstate.edu with any questions regarding program recommended technology.
