Computer Requirements


Taking a distance learning course, particularly an online course, requires special computer equipment and related technology. At the very minimum, you will need:


Are you using America Online (AOL)?
If you use America Online (AOL) for Web access, you will need the AOL version 4.0 or higher client
and the Internet Explorer 5.0 browser.

For best results with AOL:

Connect to the Internet using AOL version 4.0 or higher
Open a private chat within AOL (this allows the AOL client to remain open, without asking if you wish
to disconnect while minimized)
Minimize AOL
Launch a recommended browser

Some courses may require additional software. For details about specific course requirements, make sure you carefully check your class syllabus and talk with your instructor about any special needs.

You must have Internet access before you can access your online course. FCCJ also provides

students with free dial-up Internet access. Visit our Distance Learning Web page for additional

information and resources.
