FROM: College of Medicine and Public Health SUBJECT: Student Laptop Program The Ohio State University College of Medicine and Public Health is committed to preparing our students for the medical, technological, and business challenges of the world they will be entering. In order to maximize the learning experience, Ohio State medical students must be conversant with computer technology. The College of Medicine and Public Health continues with its enhancements of the computer network/environment and the availability of academic materials & documentation via the Web. In addition, e-mail and mailing lists are becoming more the practice in terms of getting information out quickly to a College community. In laying the foundation for creating the "24-hour classroom," computer hardware & capability has been added/upgraded (including "plug and play" areas and wireless access). All first year medical
students will receive a laptop computer during the first
week of class in August. Using the same equipment ensures a quick
start-up for College, promotes sharing of information between students,
and minimizes the time a student devotes to infrastructure issues. Do not purchase a laptop
computer!! The College of Medicine purchases the
Ohio State Laptop Package for entering students. The laptop computer
purchase charge will be included on your tuition bill as a separate
charge. The Laptop Package has been selected by the College to
meet the curricular and student-life needs at the College and is
priced 40 percent below the already discounted University purchase
price. If you already own a laptop, below are the minimum specs for the laptop ownership
program. Also our technical staff will provide you with an analysis.
If compatible software could be upgraded to the latest version, it
will be distributed to the student. Additional charges or software
fees may apply. The deadline for compatibility analysis of
an existing laptop is July 31, 2005. For more information
or answers to questions, contact us by e-mail:Student
Educational Services & PDA/Mobile Solutions Team. Minimum Requirements: Hardware and software not
recommended or not supported by the College at this time are:
