SHOPPING RESOURCES
These e-commerce sites on the web do not offer specific discounts to Wright State students or employees but they can be an excellent source of product reviews, technical notes and price comparison information. Remember, be extra cautious whenever purchasing items over the phone or the internet.


EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES
Students with an existing computer may wish to review CaTS' Minimum Equipment Guidelines. This is typically a four year old or less computer that is capable of running the current version of Microsoft Office. This will be the least powerful computer system we recommend. It may not be suitable for all requirements.

Students taking distance learning classes or courses with an online component should review CTL's Distance Learning Technical Requirements information.
