Please note that due to the design of the Macintosh Operating System 10, only Internet access and web-based or POP email is available on campus (i.e. myisu.indstate.edu, hotmail.com, yahoo.com).

Although systems below the recommended configuration may be utilized, application speed will be noticeably slower.
Also, please check the URL (web address) of any online course or check with your instructor to ensure your system meets specific class requirements.

For students who wish to connect to the Internet, or to take web-based courses see our Getting Connected information.
