Villanova University Laptop Program

As part of their curriculum, all incoming Freshman students are leased a state-of the art laptop computer. Villanova University supplies this laptop on a two year refresh cycle.  During the spring at the end of the sophomore year this computer will be returned, and during the summer the student will receive a new state-of-the art computer. 

Both computers remain the property of Villanova University.  Students are required to participate in the Laptop Program regardless of their personal computer.  Students are responsible for the care of their computer and should review all the information in the laptop agreement regarding the laptop program policies and procedures.
