Technology Requirements

The Nursing in School Health Services Certificate coursework is completed through distance learning. It will be important you secure the necessary equipment and familiarize yourself with the technology to ensure your success in the program.  Please review the information provided below.

Our online Learning Management System (LMS) is called Carmen, and can be accessed at carmen.osu.edu.  We also utilize the CarmenZoom system, which serves as an online classroom, which can be accessed via osu.zoom.us.  Resources for both these software platforms can be found below.

Students are expected to have a laptop meeting minimum technology requirements in order to participate classes.  You will find the technology requirements linked below.

Finally, the university will routinely send official communications to the university email address.

Since email has been adopted as a primary mechanism for sending official communications to students at OSU, students must check email regularly in order to read important messages and notifications. Certain communications may be time-sensitive. Failure to read official university communications sent to the students’ official OSU email addresses does not absolve students from knowing and complying with the content of those official communications. Students must also ensure that there is sufficient space in their e-mail inboxes to allow email to be delivered and received.  Please reference this video for additional information on student email.

Students who choose to have their email forwarded to a private email address outside the official university network address will be doing so at their own risk. The university is not responsible for any difficulties that may occur in the proper or timely transmission or access of email forwarded to any third-party email address. Any such problems will not absolve students of their responsibility to know and comply with the content of official communications sent to students’ official Ohio State University email addresses.

Questions regarding technology can be sent to our Information Technology team at Con-S-Help@osu.edu.
