On-Line Course Information for Apple Macintosh Users

Students with Apple Macintosh computers wishing to take our on-line courses must purchase and install software that allows the Macintosh to emulate a Windows-based PC. The Windows operating system will appear inside a window on the MAC desktop, allowing the user to easily switch between the Windows and the MAC operating systems. After the Windows emulation software is installed, Macintosh users can access the WAT 702x CD-ROMs and take the on-line courses.

The following link provides information for obtaining this software. http://www.apple.com/macosx/applications/virtualpc/
