The Television classes listed below require students to have personal and continuous access to a laptop computer that meets the requirements found below. Students who do not already have access to the appropriate laptop and required software may be able to include those costs in the calculation of their financial aid by filing a Cost of Attendance Appeal with the Financial Aid Office. If you have questions about this requirement, please contact the CTVA Department at (818) 677-3192.
