Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) at BHASVIC

We are advising all BHASVIC students that they should have a personal laptop to enable flexible learning when in college and at home.

As sixth form college students preparing for employment or further study, we believe it is essential that you develop your digital skills in preparation for your next steps. Our learning materials are made available through our online platforms. You will need to work on your assignments in class, around college and at home. With your own device your work is stored securely, available anywhere and at any time and you can make full use of customisation and accessibility tools.

If you do not own a laptop that you can bring into college then a limited number of laptops can be loaned on a short-term basis from the self-service lockers in the Elms Building. Free long-term loans are available for students that meet certain criteria (such as bursary students for example).To enquire about eligibility for a free, long-term loan laptop, please contact the Student Services team at studentservices@bhasvic.ac.uk

WiFi

To use the WiFi at the college you will need to on-board your device. You can do this before you come on site to enrol so that you are ready for study.

To remotely connect your device to the college WiFi ahead of time, please follow the instructions below for your relevant device:

You can access the college’s Office 365 services on any device connected to the internet or through mobile apps available for Android or iOS stores (app stores).

We would recommend that your laptop would have the following as a minimum:

A multi-core processor
8GB RAM
SSD hard drive storage
Wi-Fi
Windows 10 Home or better
