Software Requirements
Before students attend JumpStart orientation, held a week before the start of the semester, they must download Microsoft Office software to their laptop computers.
The I.T. Support Center also offers user guides for technology services students may want to use once on campus, including campus printing, file backup and more.
Microsoft Office
Southeast Technical College utilizes Office365 for students who need Microsoft Office for their classes. Office365 allows students to download and install the Microsoft Office Suite and use it while enrolled in classes. The license is attached to your Southeast Tech email account and will automatically deactivate when your email account is removed (one semester after graduation, or immediately upon withdrawal from Southeast Tech).
