Beginning with the 2009 Fall trimester, all incoming students will be required to have a laptop that meets the ADU specifications (see the Software and Hardware Requirements section in the Academic Bulletin). Students may purchase a laptop from the University or bring their own if they meet the standards. Some professional programs may require that the laptop be purchased from the University. Students should contact their program of interest for more information. Financial aid may be available to cover the cost of purchasing a new computer.
