A quick word regarding digital testing platforms in the College of Nursing. (Please read before purchasing a new or different device.)
We strongly recommend confirming the computer requirements for your courses in the respective syllabus. Although the official testing platform for Undergraduate Programs is
ExamSoft, other testing platforms and remote proctoring solutions may be your Professor's preference.
Chromebook compatibility is currently problematic, and iPads are effectively incompatible with Lock Down Browser. Most newer Windows laptops as well as MacBooks are compatible
with all platforms; however, older devices may no longer be compatible.
Students, faculty and staff are able to order Dell PCs and Apple Macintosh computers at a discount for personal use. More information about this can be found on this ETSU webpage:
