Some of the graduate students, theological students, and some faculty and staff have non-Drew issued laptops which they use on campus. This brief guide points out what is and what is not available to users of non-standard laptops.
Note: This does not apply to undergraduate students. Undergraduate students are expected to use the Drew-issued laptop as part of the Computer Initiative.
Note: Computing and Network Services (CNS) only supports the Drew-issued standard laptop. The CNS helpdesk can not provide information or assistance for members of the Drew community who use other laptop computers.
