Computer Information
There
is no requirement that students own a personal computer. However, many
students find benefit from having their own computer. If you are
considering the purchase of a new computer, L-R recommends a
laptop-based computer. Laptop computers can easily travel with you
around campus. You will find them to be very helpful in taking notes and
collaborating with other students on assignments.
Personal
computer recommendations
|
Choose one of
two options
Option 1 - Buy a
new computer.
If you choose to
buy a new
computer, we
recommend
configurations
that will meet
your computing
needs for the
next several
years at LRC.
Option 2 - Bring
the computer you
already have.
If you have an
older computer
you'd like to
bring, you can
verify it will
work on our
network and meet
our minimum
requirements for
technical
support.
Actually,
there's a third
option
Option 3 - Use
LRC's computer
labs.
If you
aren't in the
market for a new
computer and
don't have one
to bring, you
can still get
your work done
in one of our
computer labs.
Even if you have
your own
computer, the
labs are a great
place to work.

If students need to purchase
computer accessories such as a ethernet card or cable, they may find Best Buy,
Office Max or Office Depot their best option.
The college provides access
to the campus network, but students are responsible for their own
network components and software configuration. There is no fee for
accessing the campus network. For step-by-step instructions to
