Computer courses require an Internet connection, high speed (cable or DSL) for some courses, and an individual email address and basic computer skills

Televised courses are available to Comcast cable television subscribers in the areas listed on our Technology web page. For students outside of these areas, or for students who are not Comcast cable subscribers, many courses are available for rental from RMI Media.

Some courses require students to come to campus for meetings.
