> Equipment & Requirements
Every fully online MSU course requires a minimum of the following common set of tools. Many courses have other specialized technical needs as well. Be sure to check the course syllabus and requirements to read about particular needs for that course. At a minimum, each student needs access to:
- A browser that meets the ANGEL minimum requirements.
- Minimum screen resolution of 800x600 (1024x768 recommended);
- 56K modem or direct connection to the Internet. A broadband (high-speed) Internet connection is recommended (and required for some courses);
- Adequate responsiveness and performance from your computer. Most
computers manufactured within the last four years will meet your needs.
Don't think you have it? We can answer any question you may have at the Help Line 1-800-500-1554 (Toll Free, North America including Hawaii) or (517) 355-2345 (East Lansing and international).
As with all computing situations involving the Internet or other file sharing, VU recommends that you practice safe computing -- install and use a virus detection and repair software package, and back up your work regularly.
