The Lawrence Tech Laptop Initiative

Lawrence Tech's Laptop Initiative is a dynamic plan to assure that Lawrence Tech students are well prepared to take advantage of advanced learning opportunities, have greater access to educational resources, and achieve a competitive edge in the workplace. Laptop computers can be tremendously helpful to students as they learn, retain, analyze, present, use, and exchange complex technological and graphical information.

Each fall semester, specially configured and branded laptop units, complete with furnished software, are issued to all undergraduate students. The LTU Help Desk provides assistance and on-the-spot repairs if problems occur.

All registered undergraduate students and faculty may receive a laptop leased to them for a specified contract period.  The current contract period is approximately two years. 

Graduate students are not currently included in the laptop program, but if we have any spare laptops available, they may acquire a laptop for a cost of $95 per credit hour.  In other words, if there are any laptops remaining after distribution to undergraduates and faculty, graduate students may obtain one for $95 per credit hour.

Undergraduate students will need to satisfy four conditions before receiving their laptop:

1. They must be registered for classes.
2. They must have paid a $500 security deposit which is payable by check or credit card.
3. They must have a Lawrence Tech photo ID card.
4. They must sign the laptop agreement which is online in BannerWeb. 

Students under age 18 must have a parent or guardian print out the laptop agreement, provide credit card information, and sign the laptop agreement.

Students can fulfill these three requirements at the One Stop Service Desk on the 3^rd floor of the Taubman Stucent Services Center.

Once these conditions are met, undergraduates may pick up their laptop from the Help Desk, located in room C203, Taubman Student Services Center. The Help Desk schedules major laptop distributions at the beginning of each semester.  Most incoming students will pick up their laptops in August just prior to the beginning of fall semester.  Please check  the Help Desk website for a complete laptop distribution schedule.
