Technology

Technology has become as important as the "three R's," and we have many student computers in Student Support Services. Come on in and get to work! 

Computers are really not all that scary, and they will not blow up when you make a mistake. It's important to get on the computer, explore, and learn.

In order to survive college these days (especially the many writing assignments across all of the disciplines--yes, there is writing, even in math), students MUST be computer literate. Do not wait to take one of many computer classes offered at Gulf Coast State College, such as typing, keyboarding, and Micro Computer Applications. Take one of these classes as soon as possible.

If you are not comfortable with computers below are some online computer tutorial links:
