Computer and Internet Connections

You must have a reliable computer and Internet connection to access your course.
Make sure the computer you use will be available for the entire semester.
If you plan to use your computer at work, please contact the Blackboard Help Desk 940-898-3971 or Helpdesk@twu.edu.
Most companies have a firewall installed and you may not be able to access your online course or receive e-mail from the professor.
