Q. How can I use a Chromebook for my courses?

If you have a Chromebook or check out a Chromebook from our library, you can access many college systems and services.

Apps like Google Docs or Word online may be helpful. Be sure to save your files in a format that is acceptable for your course assignments. Full versions of software like Microsoft Office 365 cannot be installed on a Chromebook, but you can use online apps.  

You'll want to connect to Eduroam or MC-Secure wifi on-campus. 

You may need to use a computer, not a Chromebook, for some courses or assignments, especially those where 3rd party content has been added. Check with your instructor to learn what is required for your coursework. 

Or, if you are entitled to a virtual desktop, use the html browser-based access to connect to a Windows desktop using your Chromebook.

Here's some links for getting started. Let us know if you have questions.
