Prepare Your PC for Online Learning

Your Personal Computer

The computer that you intend to use to complete online coursework must meet certain minimum requirements. We recommend that you check the capabilities of your computer before accessing your online course. If you're in the market to buy a computer, you'll want to read our technical recommendations.

Internet, Computer and Web Browser Requirements

You'll need a stable Internet connection (a modem is fine, but a high-speed connection is recommended) and a PC or Macintosh computer capable of running a current version of the Firefox or Internet Explorer web browsers. To verify the compatibility of your browser with the ANGEL Course Management software that is used to deliver online courses, please visit the ANGEL Login Page and review the assessment provided under the "Browser Compatibility Check" heading (campus Net ID and password required for log-in).

Important Considerations

  1. Important information regarding your online courses at Plattsburgh State will likely be communicated to you through your Plattsburgh State e-mail account.
  2. If your preferred e-mail address is not your Plattsburgh State address, you can forward your campus e-mail to an alternate account.
  3. Most courses will require the use of word processing software. We strongly recommend a basic suite of office software (like Microsoft Office or OpenOffice).

My Plattsburgh

My Plattsburgh is a "Web portal" that provides you with convenient, customized access to campus information and services. Here you can access your campus e-mail, store and share files, read important announcements from your instructors, and access your online courses.
