Computer/Technology Requirements

In order to successfully complete your studies at Niagara College – Toronto (NCT), it is recommended that you have access to a laptop or desktop with a Microsoft Windows operating system (PC). The Computer Programming program is PC-based as several key software are not supported by Mac operating systems.

We recommend students purchase PC laptops or desktops with the same specifications as or higher than the machines in our labs. Our labs have the following minimum configuration:
- i7 processor
- 16 GB or RAM
- 512 GB SSD
- Minimum 17-inch screen (21.5-inch recommended)

NCT offers access to computer labs on campus, but availability cannot be guaranteed, and some software may not be available on all open-access computers on campus.

All costs associated with program requirements are the responsibility of the student.
