This policy has been incorporated for many reasons. It is important that Olin students gain proficiency and build skills while enrolled. Computer use is part and parcel of Olin students' every day experience. Email and intranet use is crucial to student success. Laptop computer use greatly enhances communication within the academic community both on and off campus.
Laptop computers contribute to the facilitation of team based assignments and activities.
Requiring all full-time students to own a laptop builds a support system necessary to prepare Olin for future technological enhancements and software use. If you purchase your computer through Dell Premier, Dell recommends that you allow at least one month for delivery.
