Laptop Computer

The use of a laptop computer continues to be an integral part of an Acadia University education. You will be required to provide your own laptop. A very limited supply of rentals may be available.

Help Desk support will be available to all students: it will be provided on a best case basis for any machines not on the approved models list. The service desk can assist with key services such as printing, connecting to the wired and wireless networks, access to network academic software and email access.

A list of approved models can be found at the Acadia Tech Store.
