Computer Requirement for Students
- All students must be in compliance with the University Student
Computer Policy.
- All students must have access to a computer to allow them to
complete all Course work andgeneral curriculum requirements within
their designated program in the College of Public Health and Health
Professions. Students may acquire access through the most
appropriate option to match their individual circumstances. These
include, but are not limited to, computer purchase, lease,
loan.
- All students must have access to a computer with the following
capabilities:
- Computer accessibility to the World Wide Web and E-mail
- Windows Operating Environment
- Minimum System resources to run all required applications
- A basic word processing software package
- A basic statistical software package
- Students are responsible for knowing how to operate the computer
system they choose and the software packages required.
- Students are responsible for any repair necessary to their
computers and are expected to complete assignments in a timely
manner regardless of the state of repair of their individual
computer systems.
- It is likely that over the course of a student's program,
computer upgrades will be necessary. Students are responsible for
upgrades required for curriculum completion.
- Individual course work may require additional specialized
software not already delineated. In this case, it is the faculty
member's responsibility to insure the software requirements are
clearly delineated on the particular class syllabus. Students are
then responsible for acquiring access to the specialized software
necessary to complete specific course requirement.
- Similar to non-computer based assignments, all work completed by
students on the computer must be the student's own original
work. Students may not receive assistance in completing computer-
based assignments unless specifically allowed as part of that
assignment. Copying material from others, such as scanning in
others material, copying others files or discs, and/or downloading
material from other sources and claiming it as the student's own
work is strictly prohibited.
