Learn more about hardware and software requirements, technical support, and more below.

Technology Requirements

Students are required to have regular, reliable access to a computer with a stable internet connection.

Our online courses are delivered through Blackboard, which is designed to work on Windows- and Macintosh-based systems. At this time, Linux is not a supported operating system.

Please note, while the minimum allowed Windows operating system is Windows 7, students are strongly advised to use a newer operating system for Windows machines (i.e. Windows 8 or 10).

Tech Support

As soon as you begin your studies, you will be introduced to a student services coordinator. They will provide personalized support throughout your time at Lebanese American University, acting as a resource for questions about technical support and more.

We also have a 24/7 help desk and IT support as necessary for escalated issues. For help with Blackboard-specific questions, click here.
