• Activate a UWF ArgoNet email account
   
• Access email two to three times a week
   
• Have basic word-processing knowledge
   
• Access ARGUS two to three times a week

Instructors should ensure that basic assignments can be completed using software packages currently available in the ArgoNet labs. Students should expect that instructors may request any assignments completed on the computer be turned in via email rather than printed.
