Students in programs requiring laptops may order their laptop computers from a recommended vendor.

The recommended laptops are dependable and capable of performing the functions needed. They are high-end computers that will perform well during the college years as well as after graduation. On the SCTC home page go to "hot spots" in the upper right-hand corner and select "Laptop Program" to view the laptop models and prices. You will receive the student tech ID you need to log into the laptop program webpage during Orientation/Registration.
All laptop programs require Microsoft Office 2007 which will be sold at the SCTC Bookstop. Your laptop will also require Symantec Anti-Virus, which is provided to you as part of the student technology fees program. If you order your laptop from the recommended vendor your laptop will arrive preinstalled with a copy of Symantec Anti-Virus.

This is a perpetual license meaning it has no expiration date. The program will be loaded on the computers during class the first week of the semester.
