2008 TIGER TO-DO LIST FOR FRESHMEN

Computer Needs

It is essential that you activate your student account and check your e-mail on a regular basis. The university uses this account to communicate with you on all official matters.

Buying a New Computer?

If you are shopping for a computer this summer, see the "SCS Computer Buyers’ Guide,” one of many resources offered by Student Computing Services.

The guide highlights purchasing considerations specific to students and the campus environment and includes links to the current university-recommended configurations for both Windows and Macintosh computers. Students are eligible for educational discounts through Towson University purchase agreements with Dell and Apple.

Incoming students will discover that Towson Unplugged, the university's wireless network, has quickly become the preferred choice of many on campus. This summer the university will introduce a new Dell laptop purchase plan that provides additional incentives for student buyers, including deeper discounts and exclusive in-house hardware support. See the SCS Computer Buyers' Guide for details.
