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 lease refresh cycle.  During the spring at the end of the sophomore year, this computer must be returned. If you leave Villanova for any reason, except undergrad graduation, you must return your Villanova issued laptop.

Both the freshman and junior issued laptops 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.

All freshmen and juniors who have not received their laptop this summer can come to 102 Vasey Hall after August 19 to claim their laptop. Please bring your wildcard for identification.
