Technology Requirements
An integral part of the Adult Education program is the online component. All students receive training in accessing their class through Blackboard as well as accessing the online library resources. Students receive a user name and password at their orientation. The University supports Microsoft Office products, specifically Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It also supports Firefox as the web browser. Technical support is available/offered to all enrolled students. "MyCUI" provides a convenient "launch-point" for many of the useful online resources for students. Visit it for yourself.
