Laptop Program



2011 - 12 Model
Lenovo Thinkpad E420s
The Laptop Program is part of Meredith College's Technology Initiative (MTI) and is currently offered to all under-graduate degree seeking students who are taking a full course load (12 hours or greater). All laptops come with a suite of Default Software. PDF icon
 
The Rules and regulations governing the laptop program are defined by the Laptop Policy. All students, or a parent/guardian if the student is younger than 18, will be required to sign the Student Program Agreement (SPA) that covers all rules and regulations.
Laptop Ownership: The MTI provides students with transfer of laptop ownership at no cost. As referenced in both the laptop policy and the Student Program Agreement - if a student completes a minimum of two full time semesters and graduates/completes a professional under-graduate program, such as a second degree, a second major, or a professional certificate, the laptop will become the property of the student.

Personal Laptop Use: If the student desires to use their own laptop, IBM compatible or Macintosh, either because they don't qualify for the program or prefer to use their own equipment, Meredith College will configure their personal laptop to access the Meredith Wireless community or issue a special wireless card to be used while the student is on the Meredith campus.
 
Support for personal laptops is limited to Meredith network access issues. The help desk will provide the Meredith wireless access connection configuration on a students personal laptop. The student will be required to have proper id before installation is performed.
 
Software that is installed on a Meredith Laptop can not be transfered to a students personal laptop. Because the cost of the technology initiative/laptop program is factored into the full-time students tutition, it is highly recommended students participate in the program.
