Operating Systems
Learners receive a free Microsoft Office 365 license to use during their time at 狼友社区. Most projects and assessments can be completed using a Microsoft or a Google application. A note about operating systems: Microsoft, Apple, and Google periodically end support for their older operating systems. Our minimum computer system requirement in the chart below reflects these changes.

Almost all 狼友社区 tools are accessible through both a computer or a tablet meeting the below requirements, however, for some specific tools, you must access them through a computer.
Two-Factor Authentication
Starting September 1, 2022 Two-Factor Authentication will become effective for all learners.
狼友社区 has initiated the use of a two-factory authentication system to increase privacy and enhance security for learners accessing its systems. The University uses two-factor authentication to verify the identity of the learner who accesses the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) through the use of two independent means of evidence. The purpose of two-factor authentication is to ensure that the learner who enrolled into the academic program is the same person accessing the LMS.
