Computer equipment resources

Students will require access to a computer and printer. Access to the Internet is also required for some courses.

The suggested minimum requirement is an IBM compatible computer. Hardware and software specifications change rapidly. Therefore, if buying a new computer, students should purchase the best quality and highest capacity they can afford.

CQU campuses have computers which may be accessed by students on a 24 hour basis.
