| Software |
Computer instructions or data. The distinction between software and hardware is sometimes confusing because they are so integrally linked. When you purchase a program, you are buying software. But to buy the software, you need to buy thedisk (hardware) on which the software is recorded. Software is often divided into two categories:
|
|
| Systems software |
Includes the operating system and all the utilities that enable the computer to function.
|
|
| Sound card |
Sound cards are necessary for nearly all CD-ROMs and have become commonplace on modern personal computers. Sound cards enable the computer to output sound through speakers connected to the board, to record sound input from a microphone connected to the computer, and manipulate sound stored on a disk.
|
|
| Spam or Spamming |
Electronic junk mail or junk newsgroup postings. Spam is generally e-mail advertising for some product sent to a mailing list or newsgroup. Spamming is sending or transmitting these junk messages. Receipt of Spam is virtually impossible to control; Spamming to or from college email systems is strictly prohibited.

| Student classifications |
A full-time student is one who registers for and completes 12 or more credit hours per quarter. A part-time student is one who registers for and completes 11 or fewer credit hours per quarter. Credit hours indicate the approximate number of hours a student will be in class per week. For example, English 111, a three credit hour course, requires three hours of class attendance weekly. Lab hours usually require additional class attendance time. A first-year student is one who is registered in a specific program and has earned fewer than 46 quarter credit hours of credit, including transfer credit. A second-year student is one who is registered in a specific program and has earned at least 46 quarter credit hours, including transfer credit, but not a degree. |
