What kind of computer will I need?

In general, we recommend a Windows-based laptop with Microsoft Office (or compatible) software and current antivirus software. Your teachers will be using the latest version of Microsoft Office and you can avoid conflicts by using the same. Since student needs are different, you may choose to add more memory or higher level graphics cards for video, music or gaming. Business majors may want a traditional PC with the Office suite while fine arts majors might want something very different. You can choose the computer you need and you will have open access to Mount WIFI.

Mount St. Mary’s University has partnered with Lenovo to provide a private laptop purchase program for the Mount Community. On this site you will find several laptop options that are preconfigured to meet the needs of our students. If you plan to major in computer science or cybersecurity we recommend checking with the department prior to purchasing any hardware to confirm requirements and compatibility. You are not required to purchase from the Lenovo site and may also refer to recommended PC specifications sheet PDF for additional guidance. Macs are highly discouraged as they have compatibility issues with some software required for a number majors.

What happens if my computer breaks?

Due to liability issues, ITSC does not provide hardware or software services. You may want to consider an extended warranty for hardware repair, this is usually available at the time of purchase. Please note that our system constantly monitors computers and will quarantine any computer that develops a virus or does not keep its software up-to-date. It is the students responsibility to update their computer.

Is any special software required?

Certain majors or schools may require specific software. It is best to check with your department chair for any specific requirements. It is also highly recommended that each student takes advantage of the Microsoft Office 365 package that is offered free through Mount IT services.

Where should I save documents when working on a thin client? (Library or Labs)

The best way to save your work while in the Library or Labs is to email it to yourself or save to your personal network folder, that way you will have access to it at any computer. Another successful way to save your work is to a USB Flash Memory Drive
