NOTEBOOK COMPUTING

Sargent Hall has over 3000 data ports located in all classrooms, the library and the cafeteria for Internet and Email access.  Wireless access is also available.

Whether you own a notebook or intend to purchase a new machine, we recommend the following specifications:
Intel Processor, 2 GB RAM, 160G hard drive, CD-ROM/DVD, 3 year on site warranty, Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Windows Vista operating system

All laptops must be scanned for viruses and obtain a certification sticker from Computer Services before connecting to the Sargent Hall Network ports.  The Symantec Antivirus program is available free of charge to all registered students.

Call Computer Services at 617 573-8352 to schedule your laptop certification. 

If you purchase a new laptop, whether one we recommend or your own choice, it is best and quickest if you download the Symantec antivirus program from Campus Cruiser and run a full scan within 3 days of your scheduled appointment.

To access the Class of 2012 and 2013 site, log on to Campus Cruiser > Courses tab > My Classes > select term 09/FL                             

Under Academic Technology (in left column), Choose Antivirus Software
Follow the instructions to download. 
Once download and install is complete, follow the instructions to scan.

In addition to the corporate edition of Symantec Antivirus, we also provide, without charge, the Microsoft Office Professional suite (including Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and OneNote).  The software bundle will be available on CD to the entering class when you get your laptop certified.  This is available to Suffolk Law students only and is a savings of more than $150 off the best academic discount price.

All registered Suffolk students are eligible for special pricing through HP if you wish to purchase a PC/laptop or Apple if you would prefer a MacBook.
