There are a few essential technologies, hardware, and software you will be using to communicate with instructors, faculty advisors, and complete course assignments. If you have any questions or concerns about these requirements please the department.
Computer or Laptop
You must have regular access to a desktop or laptop computer for this class. Your computer should be able to run Windows 10 and Office 2019.
Compare prices in stores and online. Also check the Hardware category link at the CollegeBuys.org store
Use our Windows computers in the CCC Computer Lab on campus at RCC. You don't have to buy a new computer.
Web Camera
Don't ditch your computer if you don't have a built-in web camera and microphone. You can purchase a good web camera online.
The web camera pictured here is about $60-$80 on Amazon and has a built in microphone (Logitech C920 or C922x)
Microsoft Office 2019
As a student of Riverside Community College you have a free subscription to Office 365.
Enrolled students may find the following Office download and install demonstration helpful.
About Mac Computers
We love Mac computers but they won't work well for our software classes which use Microsoft Office for Windows computers.
You can use our Windows computers in the CCC Computer Lab on campus at RCC in the BLCIS Building.
