UNMC College of Dentistry Student Computer Requirements
All College of Dentistry students are required to bring their own wireless computing device (laptop or iPad). Devices will be used for viewing lecture notes or presentations, watching videos, taking exams, completing eLearning modules, remote proctoring of exam takers, and other basic computing tasks (word processing, research, email, web conferencing, exams, Canvas, etc).
Mobile phones are not appropriate devices for some of the tasks you will need to perform during your education. Android and Windows tablets (other than Microsoft Surface devices) are not supported by our testing software and therefore cannot be used to meet your device requirement.
We recommend having both a laptop and an iPad to take advantage of resources used within the program(s).
Minimum System Requirements:
- Please review the minimum requirements for ExamSoft, the software used for computer-based testing in the College of Dentistry. Meeting these minimum requirements ensures that your device is compatible for examinations. We recommend that you go above the minimum requirements since the device will most likely be used for other activities during your education.
- Internet Access (in your home, at a hotel, etc.)
- Camera and Microphone (for Zoom classroom sessions)

- Firefox browser, latest version available
- Safari browser, latest version available

- Students are responsible for keeping their devices up to date (Windows, macOS, iPad OS updates) and compliant with ExamSoft system requirements.
