Presently, JFSC is using Windows 7 Enterprise as its primary operating system. Students are issued a government laptop with Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise installed.
Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Suite (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook and PowerPoint) is installed on all computers to handle word processing, spreadsheets, database manipulation, and slide presentations. Additionally, Adobe Acrobat Reader is installed on all computers to permit reading and printing of pdf files.
Students are provided with a Microsoft Outlook profile for emailing and managing personal information.
Students have 24-hour, 7-day access to Normandy Hall, our main building on campus. Each seminar is assigned four computers to be shared by all students.
