Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Hey there, at Cornerstone College, we’re all about making learning super cool and convenient. We’ve got this awesome Learning Management System called Class365 that you can use both in and out of class. It’s all about creating a vibe where you can work together with your classmates and become a total tech whiz.
Now, here’s the deal with our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy: you gotta bring your own laptop to campus. It’s like your key to unlocking all the cool stuff we’ve got going on. But, hey, just a heads up, touch screen gadgets like smartphones and tablets are great for browsing course stuff, but they won’t cut it for doing your assignments.
Oh, and when it comes to what kind of laptop to bring, we’ve got some recommendations. For our Data Analytics Program, you’ll need Windows 10 or later because Macs just don’t vibe with some of our essential software. For everything else, you can roll with either Windows 10 or Mac OS v.10.7 or later. And make sure your laptop packs some power with at least an Intel I5-6400 or Ryzen 5 1400 processor and 8 GB of memory.
Data Analytics Program:
- Windows 10 or later. Mac OS doesn’t support essential software (SQL Server Management Studio and Power BI).

- Windows 10 or Mac OS v.10.7 or later
- Processor: Intel I5-6400 or Ryzen 5 1400 minimum

We’ve got your back with free access to Microsoft Office 365 and Class365, plus all the software you need for your courses.
