1. Computer
   It is strongly recommended that you have either a Pentium-class personal computer running on Windows 95 or Windows 98 or a Power Macintosh running System 7.5 or later. Your machine should have at least 16MB RAM. It is also highly recommended that you have access to a computer to which you can logon at your leisure, anytime, at your own pace. It is not recommended that you rely on access to computers not available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, such as those you may be able to use at work, at a library, or other facility where you may not be able to logon whenever you wish. Some companies may have Internet firewalls that will prevent you from accessing WebCampus.Stevens from your computer at work.
   
   
   
2. Internet Connection
   You will need to acquire your own account with a local Internet Service Provider (ISP), permitting you to use SSL connections through Port 443. You will be responsible for securing your ISP account and may want to check with your ISP that the above connection is possible before joining them. Communication charges you receive will be your responsibility to pay separately; such charges are not included in your online course tuition or fees.
   
   
3. Modem
   You will need a 28.8 kbps modem or higher.
   
   
4. e-Mail address
   You will need to open an e-mail account and acquire an e-mail address that you can access anytime.
   
   Students with MSN e-mail accounts: WebCT courses do not operate with MSN e-mail accounts. Please use other e-mail accounts until further notice.
   
   
5. Browser
   Your browser should support attachments such as Netscape Navigator (4.08 or higher but NOT 6) or Microsoft's Internet Explorer (4.x or higher but NOT 5.5 - Service Pack 1). Some courses may require more recent browser software and additional plug-ins. Your instructor will inform you about which browser version is preferable and where to go to purchase or download it at no charge.

   AOL's browser is not fully compatible with WebCT. Some of WebCT's features do not function properly when using AOL's browser, the e-learning platform used by WebCampus students. But if you already have it installed; please follow these instructions. You will need to download either the Netscape or Internet Explorer browser and install it on your machine. You should then connect to the Internet using AOL. Once you are online, you should minimize the AOL window and connect to WebCT using the other browser.

   Please avoid Netscape 6, Internet Explorer 5.5 (Service Pack 1) and AOL which are experiencing problems with WebCT.
