DePauw University Laptop Program

A core component of DePauw's success in incorporating technology into the fabric of the University is our Student Laptop Program.

All students entering DePauw are required purchase a designated Dell Laptop, Apple Laptop or HP Tablet PC (What is a Tablet PC?) and a designated Software Bundle through the DePauw Laptop Purchase Program.

 

Key components of the program:

  • DePauw Students with tablet PCsAll students entering DePauw are required to purchase one of the Program laptop computers and a specific software bundle identified by the University
  • The University has entered into partnerships with Dell, Apple, and HP to customize systems for our students.  The customization goes beyond the specific hardware, including a custom bundle of software and specialized support services.  This standardization helps bring equity to the students at large and helps faculty members most effectively utilize the technology in the classroom
  • The purchase of these computers is a transaction between the student and the chosen computer vendor.  The University has worked with Dell, Apple, and HP to provide a special custom store for the purchase of the required computers.  See Purchasing Your Laptop
  • We require that students purchase the specified Dell Latitude, Apple laptop, or HP Tablet PC and the required software bundle by the start of fall classes.
