Computer Requirements:

To ensure the best possible experience while using our WebCt learning environment, the College suggests using Internet Explorer 5 or later or Netscape V4.5 or higher to access the WebCt courses.

The following suggested requirements are to insure compatibility with any future enhancements or addition to the WebCT dynamic environment. Here's what I would suggest.

Suggested minimum requirements for PC:

  • Pentium II Processor
  • 128Mb of Ram
  • 20 Gb Hard-Drive
  • SVGA Monitor
  • Windows 98, or later
  • 28.8 Kbps Modem or better
  • 16 bits sound card or better

Internet Connection:

You must acquire your own account with a local service Internet provider. Any communication charges you receive will be your responsibility to pay. Such charges are not included in your online course tuition and/or fees.

For AOL users who might encounter some difficulties upon signing up,
Here is how to logon to WebCt :

  • Sign on to AOL as usual.
  • Once connected either Minimize or Close the AOL window, but DO NOT Sign off.
  • Open either Netscape or Internet Explorer on your system.
  • Now you can enter the course using the browser that you have opened.

If you are using either Netscape or Internet Explorer and are experiencing problems, check the version of your browser and decide whether or not you will need to upgrade. To check the compatibility of your browser to WebCT go to: http://www.webct.com/tuneup
