What are the computing requirements for the online courses?

All courses can be taken on either a Mac or PC. Software requirements vary by course and are available under the Requirements tab for each class. However, you can expect that most courses will require either Widows XP or later on a PC, or OSX Snow Leopard 10.6 or later on a Mac. You are also likely to need the latest version of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge or Safari, as well as Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Acrobat Reader (all available to download for free). If you do not have access to a computer that meets these requirements, you may access the computers in the WNC library to complete your coursework.
