Requirements for Online Study
Technology specifications listed in the next section and unlimited internet access are required for online coursework completion at Carrington College.
Students taking online courses should have administrative rights to the computer used for college coursework. Those who do not have administrative rights to the computer used for online study (e.g., library or workplace computers) may not be able to install plug-ins or other essential components. In these cases, students will have limited support options due to access constraints on these networks, so they should check with their workplace IT departments to ensure that they can access course materials from their company’s network.
Students are responsible for completion of all homework and classwork assignments, regardless of technical issues. Those experiencing technical difficulties must contact their instructor and technical support immediately.
