Laptop Required Programs

Upon enrolling in a program of study, all students who are not in Bring Your Own Laptop or iPad required programs will purchase a laptop from Southeast Tech. This ensures all students will have the correct software to fulfill program requirements.

Bring your own Laptop (BYOL) refers to the technology requirement set for some specified programs on campus. Students enrolled in these programs have the ability to bring their own laptop. What this means is that a student can purchase an STI laptop or use their own laptop. If the student chooses to purchase a laptop through STI, it will be covered by a comprehensive service agreement which includes onsite repair and customer support for three years through the Southeast Tech IT Support Center. If a student chooses not to purchase an STI laptop, all warranty agreements and repairs for their laptop will be the responsibility of the student.

iPad required refers to the technology requirements for Surgical Technology and Invasive Cardiovascular Technology students only. Students enrolled in these programs will be required to bring an iPad. Only the iPad 2, iPad3, and iPad 4 will meet the requirements for these programs. iPads will need to be purchased by the student and will not be sold under the STI Conditional Sales Agreement. The student will be responsible for all warranty agreements and repairs if needed.

The following programs require that the student purchase an STI laptop, unless otherwise noted.
