Are students required to purchase their own computers?
Students are not required to purchase a computer. However, UCF will expect that all students will have ready access to a personal computer and software appropriate to his or her field of study. This access requirement can be met by purchasing or leasing a computer, sharing a computer with family or roommates, or using a UCF student PC lab. Students wishing to acquire a personal computer are strongly advised to consider a notebook computer with wireless networking card. Recommended configurations and prices can be found on the university’s Web site at: http://www.cstore.ucf.edu/standards.htm. The UCF personal computer access requirement recognizes that all UCF students should expect to be required to use a personal computer in their coursework, to access library information, register for classes and correspond with their instructors or fellow students.
