University Laptop Program

At the University of the Incarnate Word we are proud of our innovative technologies programs that have led the way at colleges and universities nationally. 

• Our fully networked campus is also fully wireless. 
• Students can access the Internet any time and anywhere. 
• We’ve been a “laptop university” for years, which means that all students have the opportunity to purchase the latest in mobile computing if they don’t already own a laptop computer. 

Now we are proud to announce that, through our partnership with Dell, students now have the choice purchasing a “traditional” laptop computer from UIW or purchasing the innovative new Dell convertible laptop/tablet computer!

Here’s how the program works:

• UIW expects every undergraduate to come to school with a laptop or tablet computer. 
• You can choose to purchase this computer from us, or you can purchase it elsewhere and bring it to school.
• There are advantages to purchasing the laptop through the University.
  • We use the latest technology - our Dell notebooks and tablets incorporate high-speed processing and high-capacity data storage in a portable unit that will meet your needs.
  • We load the computer with software that will support your studies
  • We've wired every classroom and every dormitory room to give students and faculty the maximum access to on-line information.
  • Our total campus environment is wireless -- that means computing in a classroom, a dorm room, under a tree, or on a picnic bench.  Wherever students gather.
  • Deadline for this program Aug 29, 2008
  • **Note** if you would like to receive your laptop or tablet before school begins, please submit your letter of intent by July 31, 2008
