Having a personal computer is not required to attend Wittenberg University. There are plenty of labs around campus for students to use in order to get course work accomplished.
You can also check out the Wittenberg University's Bookstore web page for some options as well.
With that in mind we do have recommendations in purchasing a computer for campus:
Wittenberg University offers the Microsoft Office Suite to students through the Office 365 service. You can go to https://portal.office.com and sign in with your campus e-mail address and password, then click the download link. More information on the Office 365 offering can be found at the Office 365 webpage.
Also some of the campus software is availble through our Virtual Desktop system. You can learn more about this from the Virtual Application/Desktop Guide.
We also provide most of the software needed for course work on the campus systems in the labs around campus, so that you do not need to purchase it yourself.
