Classroom Technology Requirements

To attend Aspen University, students must have access to a computer that meets the minimum system requirements outlined below.

Students will need to utilize Microsoft Office Suite in order to complete their assignments and assignments must be saved in the corresponding Microsoft Office file format (.docx, .pptx, etc.) Other file formats may not be compatible with the Classroom dropbox and may not be accepted. Some classroom activities, such as proctored assessments, video presentations, instructor/student meetings, etc., may require the use of video technology. Therefore, students will need access to a webcam and microphone on their computer. In addition, some courses require the use of third party programs or websites, and students are responsible for ensuring their device is compatible with these programs at the beginning of the course.
