Beginning Fall , all UVM students are required to have a laptop that meets the minimum specifications. Please note that Chromebooks, iPads, and Android Tablets are not recommended as a primary computing device. UVM's computer labs provide access to a computer if you don't have one. Students who purchase computers through the University generally have a more positive experience than those who bring computers with them, so the University recommends purchasing from UVM's nonprofit Techstore , located in the UVM Bookstore.
The Techstore offers competitive educational pricing on computers from Apple and Dell that are fully serviceable by our on-campus Computer Clinic and fully compatible with the University's network environment. Both are supported at UVM. Viruses and "spyware" are generally not a problem for Mac users, though the macOS is not immune to malicious software.

Prepare Your Computer for the Campus Network before coming to campus. If you prepare your computer carefully for life on the UVM network, you'll be able to register and get online quickly.

Furthermore, older versions of OS X and Windows—especially those no longer getting security updates—will not provide sufficient protection against malware, viruses, and other security threats, and therefore will not be able to use the campus network.
Our computing support team is proficient in helping with macOS and Microsoft Windows. We may not be able to offer you the same level of support if your computer runs a different operating system such as Linux or Chrome OS.
