Technology Requirements

  • Our program at WVA requires students to have a desktop, laptop, or chromebook device.  The device does not have to be a huge financial investment.  We do have a limited number of chromebooks available for checkout.  A device with 4GB of ram running chrome will be powerful enough to run our programs (If you are unsure, please reach out to our office).  Students will need a microphone and camera with their device.  This could be built-in or an external webcam.  Most chromebooks (and all that we check out) come with this feature.  

    NEW FOR 2025-26 SCHOOL YEAR

    All students using their own device will need to add the Proctorio Lockdown Browser to their devices.
