Laptop Programs:

Designed to accommodate students with varying needs, Salve Regina’s recommended laptop program offers a number of HP and Apple laptops to all enrolled students. The focus of the program is to improve the learning experience and collaborative abilities for students who are interested in participating. To facilitate this program, Salve Regina has partnered with HP and Apple to offer students top-of-the-line laptops with extended warranties at a reduced cost. HP laptops ship preinstalled with Windows 10. They are covered by a four-year hardware warranty as well as accidental damage protection, serviced on campus by Salve Regina employees who are authorized HP engineers. Salve Regina has partnered with Connection, a premiere HP education partner, to offer top-of-the-line HP laptops with extended warranties at a reduced cost. Connection's education store allows students, faculty and staff to purchase computers, software and accessories at a discounted price. Newly accepted students, along with parents purchasing on behalf of their student, are also eligible. For added convenience, your purchase will ship directly to your home, allowing you to familiarize yourself with your laptop and customize it to your liking before the academic year begins.
