The Lawrence Tech Laptop Initiative
Lawrence Tech's Laptop Initiative is a dynamic plan to ensure 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 and some graduate students after program conditions are met. See the Undergraduate students or Graduate students section below for program condition details.)
Once these conditions are met, eligible students may pick up their laptop from the Help Desk, located in room C203, Taubman Student Services Center.
The Lawrence Tech Help Desk also provides assistance and on-the-spot repairs if problems occur. Please check out the FAQ page for more information.
Laptop distribution
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

With a personally-owned laptops, the student also become wholly responsible for acquiring all college-required software. Due to software licensing restrictions, we cannot install software on personally owned laptops with the exception of some software available to students.
