Student FAQ
 
What if I don’t have a computer, the Internet, or other technologies at home? 
Having these technologies at home is certainly an advantage, but you can still complete your work in class, before or after school, during lunch, at a library, or at a friend’s house that has the technology you need.  As long as you are staying focused and working during class/lab time, you should be able to complete much of your work during school.
