Computer equipment resources

Students will require access to a computer and printer. Access to the Internet is required. 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 that may be accessed by students whilst in the course of their studies. On various campuses computer libraries are available on a 24-hour basis or extended beyond normal working hours.
