Do I Have to Buy a Personal Computer?

Dartmouth’s computer ownership requirement means that all incoming undergraduate students must own a personal computer for electronic mail, to register for classes, review course materials, submit assignments, search library catalogs, and more. Any computer you use must work with our network and should be new enough to take full advantage of all of these resources. It must also be properly configured and have antivirus protection installed and active. Fortunately, the College sells network-ready computers to students at academically discounted prices. If you already own a computer that you plan to bring, you may not need to purchase another one; however, there are many advantages to having a new computer, especially one purchased through Dartmouth.
