Resources For Students who do NOT have required hardware
- Laptops provided by the Laptop Loaner Program, as well laptops in the kiosks in the MSC and Library are chromebooks that boot directly into a virtual instance of Windows 10. Thus they are compatible with all tools. There is a slight chance that an advanced user may be able to bypass the boot restriction.
- New Science 123 Computer Lab can be used if students lack the required hardware. The lab is open Monday-Friday 8 am to 5 pm. Class sessions are periodically scheduled. Access to lab is not guaranteed during those times. Students may be able to access lab during class sessions, but will not have a quiet environment in which to work.
-
Students can also go to the J.B. Coleman Library room 210, Northwest Houston Center or the Medical Center Nursing Campus computer labs.
- STUDENTS, IMPORTANT NOTE: If your instructor will be recording test attempts, BE SURE TO CONTACT THESE LOCATIONS PRIOR TO TESTING TO MAKE SURE THEIR PCs HAVE WORKING WEBCAMS
- If the PC lab does not have webcams, you will not be able to take exams that are recorded for remote proctoring.
- Virtual Desktop Interface (VDI) will allow students access to a virtual machine that can use the machine’s local camera.
