| ===== FAQs ===== | ===== FAQs ===== | ||
| + | - **Do I need to load any software on my device prior to coming to MLC?** Many devices come with a lot of preloaded software when purchased. Additional software may be needed depending on the activities the student chooses to engage in. Many free software alternatives, such as Google Apps, are available and students are encouraged to make use of them. Instructors will inform students of any specific apps that are required for their classes. Also, each student is required to carry security software to detect, prevent, and mitigate viruses, malware, spyware, and other nefarious software. What program to specifically install is up to the student, but there are free offerings available from many vendors. | ||
| + | - **Is it essential that I have Microsoft Office software (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) on my device?** While having these programs on your device might be beneficial due to their greater functionality compared to some free alternatives, they are not required. All devices need to be able to access and work with word processing, presentation, and spreadsheet files. The specific program you use is up to you. | ||
| + | - **If I wish to have Microsoft Office software available on my device, should I purchase this before or after coming to MLC?** If the software is not included with the purchase of your device, it is suggested that you purchase the software after coming to MLC since it is available at a much lower cost to students through MLC. Further information is available on the [[http://mlc-wels.edu/network-services|MLC Network Services website]]. | ||
| + | - **What should I do if there is a problem with my device while at MLC?** You are welcome to [[http://mlc-wels.edu/support|check with Network Services]] for direction. | ||
| + | - **What responsibility will MLC take if my device is stolen and/or broken at MLC?** The student is responsible for the maintenance, repair, and security of his/her own device. MLC carries no insurance on the personal belongings of students. | ||
| + | - **May the students use 3G/4G/LTE as well as WiFi?** Yes, students may use their own data plans. There is no guarantee provided as to the signal strength of cellular providers on campus. MLC also has available to students a wireless network, which is safe and monitored. | ||
