MP Technology Requirements

Electronic Devices
Students are required to use a personal laptop computer to take exams and submit homework i.e. weekly exams and homework assignments for each course to be submitted through the HUB (Sakai). They will also be logging into Zoom to attend live classroom sessions. Pre-recorded lectures will be required to be viewed as well. 
All students are responsible for ensuring that his/her laptop is in good working order. A student may contact our Educational Technology department at (806) 743-3117 for assistance or email shp.techsupport@ttuhsc.edu
Do not rely on wireless connection during an exam. Ethernet cables must be used during exams. If the laptop does not have a built-in network port, an ethernet-to-usb adapter or ethernet-to-thunderbolt adapter will need to be purchased.
Recommendations for Laptop Computers:

Processor: Intel or AMD processor, 2.0 GHz or greater
Operating System: Windows 8 or later; Mac OSX10.10 or greater
Memory (RAM): 4 GB RAM or greater
Storage: 256 GB hard drive or greater
Network: Built-in LAN and 802.11 Dual Band Wi-Fi
Note: For testing purposes, if the laptop does not have a built-in network port, an ethernet-to-usb adapter or ethernet-to-thunderbolt adapter will need to be purchased and used during exams. 

We are using a proctor service for online proctoring of examinations, below are the requirements for internet:
  1. Upload: 1 Mbps 
  2. Download: 2 Mbps 
  3. An active broadband internet connection is assumed since the examinations are done online. 
  4. Tethering and HotSpots are not supported.


Proctor service requirements for cameras:


  1. Proctor service does not officially support computers with more than one (1) integrated camera. Microsoft Surfaces and 2-in-1 Laptop/Tablet Devices fall in this category (a Surface Pro with the most up to date Windows software will work)
  2. Any web camera that ONLY has drivers for Windows Vista or below will not work.
  3. Phones cannot be used with the proctor service. 

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, if students are not on campus, a desktop computer is acceptable (as long as it meets the requirements). If we return to campus students will need to have a laptop computer with the above requirements.
