Technology access
Affordable Refurbished Computers for Qualifying Students and Their Families
A fully online degree assumes a working device and a reliable connection. For many students, particularly those returning to school after a gap or supporting a family on one income. That assumption is the barrier. APU Global partners with refurbishment and connectivity programs so hardware and internet costs do not decide who finishes a degree.
What you will need for coursework
Most APU Global coursework runs comfortably on a modern laptop or tablet with a current browser. Because courses are designed mobile-first, you can read, review, and often submit from a phone. But a laptop is recommended for longer writing assignments and proctored work.
