Saybrook expects students to have reliable access to a computer or mobile device that has access to the internet. The specific minimum requirements are for browser access. However, it is effectively a requirement that you can do word processing on the computer and produce Microsoft Word documents or PDFs.
Saybrook uses Office 365, Canvas, and Zoom as required programs or platforms.
