Internet Service Provider or ISP is a company that can supply you with access to the internet. You need an ISP to view your course. When you call a local ISP they will provide you with a phone number and the software necessary for getting onto the Internet. If you are having problems finding an ISP e-mail for more information.

You will also need to make sure you have an e-mail account. Your ISP should give you an e-mail account and information on how to set it up when you sign up.

Recommended: A printer is recommended to print course materials. A word processor such as Microsoft Word or Word Perfect is also recommended.
