Laptop Programs:
- LAPTOP PROGRAM
We care about technology. At DSU, we use technology to deliver a better academic environment and make the classroom more exciting and interactive.
We’ll give you the technology to succeed
We provide full-time freshmen a new laptop in the fall. It's part of a campus initiative, the Wireless Mobile Computing Initiative (WMCI), which started in 2004. After completing 59 credits or more, you may opt-out of the program and use your own comparable computer. You’ll also be able to purchase your computer at fair market value.What you can expect

Note:- Not an incoming freshman in the fall? All other students (incoming freshman in the spring, transfer students, returning students, continuing students) are lent a refurbished laptop PC.
- Students are responsible for the cost of repairs for damage linked to careless or negligent use or loss. Students are responsible for the replacement of the laptop PC if it is lost or stolen. DSU recommends checking with your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy for coverage in the event the laptop is lost or stolen.
