General Recommendation
Georgia Gwinnett College strongly recommends the use of devices that include webcams, microphones, speakers, virus protection, and updated Microsoft Windows or Mac operating systems. The use of devices not meeting these criteria may result in the inability to access important resources or complete course requirements. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that that they have appropriate access to the technology needed for their coursework. If you are unsure of your device’s compliance with these criteria, please consult the GGC Help Desk.
The college provides access to computers through open computer labs such as the Info Commons and other spaces spread across the campus.
The use of other devices such as iPhones, iPads, Android phones, and Chromebooks is permissible in some situations but is not considered a suitable primary device. The use of these type of devices may result in the inability to access important resources or complete course requirements.
Different schools may have specific requirements. Consult your school’s requirements before investing in a device.
