Tech it out.
Just like a traditional class, the Virtual College requires certain essential tools and materials for success. What you will need depends on the course itself. Go to the schedule of classes to find specific technology requirements for each course in which you are enrolled.
Fort Hays State University recognizes its obligation to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified students with disabilities. Please visit the Disability Student Services Office website for more information.
