Hardware Requirements For Mac Os Mojave

Platt College has established the following minimum standards for student laptops. We recognize that many students begin their academic programs with very serviceable laptops. If students wish to purchase a laptop prior to coming to Platt College, or use their existing laptop computer, it should at least meet the requirements listed below.

Chrome Books and Mobile Devices
Because Chrome books do not support specific software required at Platt (such as Microsoft Office and Microsoft Silverlight), they cannot be used as a substitute for a MAC. With the exception of the Microsoft Surface Pro 3, mobile devices such as phones and tables cannot be used as a substitute for a Mac because they do not support the required software at Platt such as Microsoft Office and Microsoft Silverlight. They can be used to access Platt College Email as well as test taking in My Platt College. Note: ATI testing is not possible on these devices.
