LTU Laptop Initiative

Lawrence Tech's Laptop Initiative is a dynamic plan to assure that Lawrence Tech students are well prepared and positioned to take full advantage of advanced learning opportunities, greater access to educational resources, and ultimately, achieve a competitive edge in the workplace! The Initiative, launched in Fall 2000, followed several years of study by administrators, faculty, staff, students and others representing the entire campus community. Their conclusion? The level of sophistication now available in laptop computers assures that they can be tremendously helpful to students as they learn, retain, analyze, present, use, and exchange complex technological and graphical information.

The Laptop Initiative represents more than the machines themselves-it is an event that changes, fundamentally, the teaching and learning process. The University is expending considerable resources for staff training, setting up a service infrastructure, and making numerous improvements to campus facilities that will allow students to utilize their laptops to their fullest capabilities.

Each fall semester, a specially configured and branded laptop unit, complete with furnished software, is issued to all undergraduate students. The LTU Help Desk provides assistance and on-the-spot repairs if problems occur.

The assignment of the LTU laptop each semester is included in tuition and fees.
