Online Learning
System Requirements
All Independence
Community College online students
must have regular access to the
Internet and a computer that meets
the minimum standards listed here.
Keep in mind that the minimum
requirements may be slow and cause
you some frustration.
Students will also
need an e-mail account. One either
provided by Independence Community
College (recommended) or by a legit
provider (such as Gmail, Yahoo,
Hotmail, or a local ISP). A word
processing software program is
required, but the recommended
software is Microsoft Office 2007. In some courses, Microsoft
Office 2007 is required software.
Anti-virus software is also very highly
recommended.

Note: Some courses may require
additional hardware or software.
Make sure you review your individual
course requirements for any special
equipment.
